Video playing, ad that scrolls, two lines of a story, the bottom popping up with notifications every few minutes over the top of more scrolling ads.
Yay internet.
Edit: Oh wow! Did not expect so many responses. First let me say, thank you for taking the time to read and respond! To address the biggest response to use Firefox I actually have it on my phone it’s just remembering to break the habit. This was more to show what an average user who just uses what they’re used to experiences on mobile browsing.
Firefox is available for Android. You can install add-ons, like UBlock, just as you would on desktop
Also Firefox gives you reading mode which gives you well formatted text without distracting images or ads.
Sometimes help you to circumvent site registration and read the article.
Also supports dark mode.
Chromium browsers offer ‘simplified view for web pages’. In the accessibility settings . It does not work on all page though.
But yeah, just use Firefox or one of it’s forks like Mull
Ublock origin.
not Ublock.
Ublock is scam software.
Firefox mobile is slow AF.
Never “UBlock” always use “UBlock Origin”.“UBlock origin” is way better(filters) than UBlock(which has an accepted ads program,also owned by Adblock Plus). Its available for Firefox android.
For more info on “UBlock” vs “UBlock origin” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin#History
Firefox Mobile has uBlock Origin that works on every site, even in incognito mode. Give it a try if this post pains you!
Even iOS and Samsung fucking browser gave ad blockers.
Chrome mobile is shit and purposefully so.
You can also use Fennec (Firefox) or Kiwi Browser (Chrome) forks for Android. Both support uBlock Origin.
IceRaven (based on Firefox) browser has some extra add-ons support than plain Firefox Mobile.
That + reader mode is a blessing for articles.
Obligatory mention that Firefox Mobile supports plugins like uBlock Origin. You don’t have to suffer this rubbish!
uBlock isn’t going to block pop-ups that are from the website you’re visiting.
u probably donteven need an adblocker.
i bet there is a config to disable popups. (might break some legitimate use cases)
extremely unlikely u would see the trashiest trash if u just had a host blocker (firefox strict, ublock, umatrix, etc…)
Can Memmy be configured to use this browser when opening links?
Except if you’re an apple tard 😂😂
I use Firefox and Firefox Klar which integrates into Firefox on iOS. I see no ads.
Edit: deleting my comment because it’s useless to reply to a crypto bro
I have nothing against nocoiners
Safari on iOS supports extensions. Chrome on Android does not. But hey, keep telling yourself that Google are better than Apple at this.
Who cares about Google? Chrome is trash. You don’t understand that in the Android world I can install infinite different browsers. I am not dependent on what one company allows. Must be hard to understand for an Apple brain.
Fandom wikis are so fucking shit at this
this site helps looking up stuff on fandom wikis without going insane.
You’re an amazing beautiful being and I love you forever! 🫀🫀🫀
Oh my. I’m blushing.
But it is a game changer
They really are the worst. You’d think a wiki site could place their ads tastefully, but clearly not with Fandom.
I’m actually surprised this hasn’t happened to streaming services yet.
So when shifting to firefox with ublock origin?
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…
When was that? I only really got into computers around the time of windows 98 and back then everything was a pop-up on the internet. You would actually go to war against the popups, trying to close more that were opening.
Maybe that was on XP tho because I don’t really remember it that well. I certainly remember looking up what the word incest meant for a school assignment and having to rush to close popup ads at the public library. It was the first time I used the internet and it was not a great first impression.
Around the time of Windows 95. You missed it by -->| |<– that much.
Aww shucks!

people would blame javascript, but i am no dev :/
I mean it’s technically true that it’s javascript allows for this. But it’s also true that your OS kernel allows this to happen too.
I think it’s best to keep it simple and just blame whoever owns the site that decides it would be a good idea to do these things. Because they could just decide not to add some JS code to display shit like this.
Using an ad blocker is essentially a requirement these days
phones used to be fun to use, now they’re just miserable because advertisers have weaponized the limitations of the format
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?
The sad thing is that there are enough people who don’t care to keep their revenue up.
I really wish the entire world would just take one week off the internet, would be interesting.
We estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individuals visual field before inducing seizures.
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!
Go there, paste the URL to the recipe, and it’ll extract it from the bullshit for you.
Thank you - bookmarked!
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.
I’m completely with you, on my computer I’m very productive but on my phone I can’t do anything work-related.
