Fandom is an ad-ridden shithole

I have been using it a lot lately, I did not know about that thanks to Firefox + Ublock

Yeah as another Firefox + Ublock Origin user, I came in here to say I've noticed a lot of game wikis announcing they're migrating off of Fandom, and I'm curious as to why. I'm OoTL.

The whole internet is like this though

That’s why we use adblockers man

Is it that, or just the reverse?

[–] butterflyattack@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's a shit-ridden ad hole.

There's a chrome extension that will redirect all your fandom traffic to breeze wiki or alternative wikis.

As a former chrome user who Migrated to firefox

Firefox is better than chrome
