That site has got to have the most annoying mobile ads I’ve ever seen. When you stop scrolling, the ad comes in from every side to become a border around the viewport. It actively makes me hate the product.

It’s just all ad now…

How are you not using an adblocker on your phone?

I know Firefox on Android (and other browsers) support adblockers. On iOS if you want to block ads without using a DNS to block them I think you’re stuck with Safari, but you’re using Safari to render them regardless so it’s not a big deal. Still, you can block mobile ads.

uBlock Origin Lite is not (Edit: I meant to say NOW) available for IOS. They can also use AdGuard and Hush.

There are a number of adblockers for iOS, but you are correct, uBlock Origin is not one of them.

Lmao that was a typo. I meant to say uBlock Origin Lite is NOW available for IOS.

Oh damn, really? Guess I’m switching adblockers! 🤣

Oh damn sorry, it’s not bad on my phone (not bad meaning no worse than any other website viewed on mobile).

Same question to you as I posed to the other poster:

Why aren’t you using an adblocker on your phone? They are easily implemented on both Android and iOS (as long as you’re willing to use Safari as your browser on iOS).

I do use it on Safari but I use Firefox/Chrome/Safari on my phone for different things and just happened to be using Chrome already when I looked up the meme 🤷‍♀️
