Anyone find a way to actually get rid of ads in Aliexpress? (lemmy.ca)

I'm talking about the ads that look like listings, but they have a small "AD" text on the corner.

These ads are often grotesque and offensive, and I'd rather not see them at all.

I've tried various block lists, but it's not removing them.

MORE CONTEXT: Sorry, I should have been more specific!

The gross/offensive ads seem to only be in the Aliexpress app (Android).

On the mobile and desktop browser version, I still get the "AD" listings, but they are of products related to things I've purchased or browse through (all bike related items). I'd like to get rid of those, too, but I guess the ones in the app are the worst type.

I do have Adguard for Android set to filter HTTPS requests from the Ali app, so I figure it's just a matter of finding the right filter. Hopefully, anyway!

I have been scrolling on safari on my iPhone for about 10 minutes and am not seeing any ads to try to block anything. Does it appear during a search? Or browsing a category?

Please list what ad blockers you have installed. OP wants to know.

Both. For example, this was from a search for "tpu tube repair kit":
