Why are ad-blocking extensions so easy to come across and install on PCs, but so difficult or convoluted to install on a phone?

Question

In most any browser on Windows, such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, finding an ad-blocking extension is a two-click solution. Yet, the process for properly blocking ads on a phone is exponentially more complicated, and the fact that many websites have their own apps such as Youtube mean that you might have to find an ad-blocking solution for each app on a case-by-case approach. Why is this the case?

If you’re on Android use blokada 5s it’s great and only a few small issues to work though. Every now and again, you gotta turn it off when going onto a website because it’ll say the connection was disrupted or something like that. But make sure the app is turned on, then you can play games and whatever on your phone with no random pop up ads
