I don't get it, I use a variety of browsers and apps, with or without VPN. I even scrape channel RSS from the same IP and have never seen this.

You didn't state if you use an adblock extension, which is what this is all about.

Using some sort of ad-blocking is default. I haven't seen more than the occasional ad before the filters update for more than a decade and a half.
