Mildly Infuriating

Firefox is available for Android. You can install add-ons, like UBlock, just as you would on desktop

Obligatory mention that Firefox Mobile supports plugins like uBlock Origin. You don't have to suffer this rubbish!

I think all the people who are recommending things like Firefox plus uBlock are missing the point. Mobile internet shouldn't require that to be readable. It's bad design and it should be discouraged. If you want advertising on your site, fine, but don't make it so obtrusive that it makes the site literally unreadable.

Even the "story" is a fucking ad.

Firefox + uBlock Origin

Firefox Mobile has uBlock Origin that works on every site, even in incognito mode. Give it a try if this post pains you!

The Internet is unusable without an ad blocker

Fandom wikis are so fucking shit at this

I'm reminded of that Futurama episode where the gang logs onto year-3000 VR internet and is immediately assaulted by a vicious swarm of flying viagra ads.

Firefox+Ublock origin rules

So when shifting to firefox with ublock origin?

Bro is using chrome 💀💀💀

And the cherry on top is that the article is probably AI generated garbage anyways

I remember the internet before popups. It was so nice...

Firefox + ublock with popups disabled + duckduckgo

Using an ad blocker is essentially a requirement these days

There's like an ad every paragraph or two on sites like these. Then apparently that's not enough so they have auto-playing video ads and pop-up ads too. Do they seriously think people will tolerate this and not go off the website?

phones used to be fun to use, now they're just miserable because advertisers have weaponized the limitations of the format

Ublock origin is your friend ~~or use brave browser~~

Edit: scratch that

To address the biggest one to use Firefox I actually have it on my phone it’s just remembering to break the habit.

Set FF as default then hide the icon for chrome in a folder.

LMAO man i swear that i've seen something similar in some futuristic dystopian movie.

Uhm, get FireFox with uBlock Origin???

We estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individuals visual field before inducing seizures.

I have adhd. When I can internet on my laptop, I read fast, massive info processing, able to rapidly research vast amounts of data, mind can work high speed.

Right now, I have no internet. Trying to accomplish anything on my tiny phone, brain can't compute, carving on stone tablets slow.

Can't believe some websites think this is ok somehow... Today I've been trying to find some recipes and so many websites have endless popups and annoyances as you scroll through the page. It's seriously awful. I don't know how people cope without adblocker!

Firefox; load the page and then view it in Reader Mode.

I've been encountering adblocker-blockers more frequently these days. Just a race to the bottom, isn't it?

Clever people recommending browsers, DNSes, extentions... But is it how this suppose to work?

Normalize pure HTML websites.

in fire fox there often is a kind of textblock symbol on the right side of the link. it turns it into very readable text und ignores the banners.

Also Fuck Jk Rowling

The ads make it impossible to even read articles any more. It's parasitic. The purpose of going to a site gets thwarted by extreme ads creating so much visual clutter I just nope right the fuck out of there.

Mobile Firefox + Adblocker add on.

It used to be "what are a thousand lawyers chained to the bottom of the ocean?"

These days I'd say “what are a thousand managers and execs chained to the bottom of the ocean?"

It's not the editors doing this shit, it's not the developers deciding this shit.

It's the managers and fuck most (but not all) of them

People who don't use ad blockers get a MUCH different experience. Especially on mobile. I made the decision to pony up the cash for an app called AdGuard years ago. It hosts its own VPN locally on your phone and filters traffic through it. The first time I learned how it worked I thought "Damn, that's a really good idea!"
