You use the internet without an ad blocker‽ Lol this is how a fresh open of the link looks for me
I can’t open links with an external browser on voyager’s pwa :(
Ah, looks like you're on iOS, you should come over to Android, system-wide ad blocking is amazing.
Though I think there are options for iOS that are also system-wide
How do system wide ad blocking on Android?
If you can, root and an app called AdAway (on f-droid)
I'm fairly certain AdAway can do the job without root, it's just not as efficient because it has to do some trickery with VPNs and stuff where as with root it can apply it's blocks directly to the system hosts file
Or use Arctic on iOS. This is what I see. Internal browser configured to use Reader by default. It's about 98% effective.
Tap the button to the left of the refresh button (top right), you should then be able to tap something like “open reader” which does a decent job at blocking intrusive ads
