I disabled Brave shields to use this site and then my phone turned into an air fryer from all the bloatware it was loading. Temps went up like 20 DC.
The spite I have for fandom… is… so… intense
Numbers go brrrr

Firefox with Ublock Origin doesn’t have this issue. (Or whatever Firefox derivative you prefer.) Please stop using Chromium-based browsers. Google is actively trying to kill adblocking. Stick with Gecko.

Did someone say gex
Don’t take career advice from Joe Piscopo
Use a decent browser and install uBlock Origin, it’s the best ad blocker :)
Use breezewiki
Thanks didn’t know this existed
Also wasn’t expecting to see “lisp”**
Lithp is better to prothethth lithtth
Oh nice! I can stop blocking fandom from my search results now.
One entry in the Testimonials section links to a satire website and people might not realize that.
Also, don’t use Brave.
Brendan Eich is both vocally and financially opposed to LGBT+ equality. The browser has actively enabled targeted ads. They’ve actively promoted crypto and have been in bed with specific crypto brokers to promote its use. They’ve been adding their own promo codes to URLs for private benefit.
They don’t give a shit about privacy. Don’t touch them with a barge pole.
If you don’t like Firefox mobile is there another ad blocking mobile browser that you’d suggest?
Are Firefox forks on the table? I use IronFox and like it for mobile use.
I’m on Fennec
If you already have strong opinions about browsers, then I’m guessing this is unlikely, but if you have an iPhone, Orion is decent.
Personally I use waterfox, it’s what firefox was before the ai trash was shoved into it and what it should still be.
Cromite has a built in adblocker but it also allows you to install extensions.
I have Ublock Origin and Libredirect installed in Cromite on my phone.
Nah, Cromite doesn’t allow extensions. Other than the built in ones, it doesn’t do extensions. There was another Chromium android browser that could do extensions, Kiwi I think. But it was a smidge shady how it did its search queries so I’d avoid it.
And side note: Cromite’s Fdroid repo link is shot. It’s been down for me for month, and I tried disabling VPN or switching to other countries and i either get a timeout or not found error, similsr to this forum post. So like I’d have to keep downloadong apks to keep it up to date, and I’d rather just pray every website i use works on FF than do that.
Attached is a screenshot of Cromite browser’s “chrome://extensions” page with extensions installed and running. Also shown in screenshot is the Ublock Origin applet pinned to Cromite’s toolbar
I don’t mean to make light of the bigotry, but the fact that that fuckwad inflicted JavaScript upon the world is reason enough to hate him and avoid his shit by itself. He has a proven track record of incompetence and terrible design decisions.
javascript is one of the best programming languages in the world. is was one of the first mainstream languages to adapt features such as coroutines, imports based on filename instead of classname/library name, etc.
it does a lot of things right. haters gonna complain about the 5% efficiency lost because it doesn’t use static typing.
Brendan Eich
All of his crimes against humanity puts him in the same circle of hell as the Koch Bros and the Mercers.
To use BreezeWiki, just replace “fandom.com” with “breezewiki.com”, and you’ll instantly be teleported to a better world
TIL
Neat!
“our site is supported by ads”
hmmmm

Yeah. Surprise level zero.
All that boils down to enshitification for profit.
Do you have
!waliased for whois?It’s a duckduckgo shorthand (called bangs) to search directly on Wikipedia.
Oh neat! Thanks - I had no idea this was a thing
I just browse Fandom pages using Internet Archive (or sometimes other archival sites except for Archive.Today and I won’t be explaining why here)
Also Fandom has not been good in years there where controversies such as: that incident Mcdonalds paid turning the Grimace page into a ad,intrusive ads,not much protection against vandalism and so on…How to allow ads on school & corporate networks
Seems pretty fucking sketchy. “Please use these tricks to bypass your admin”
The root cause is going to Fandom in first instance.
I block and and all sites that demand I turn off adblockers. Like, they don’t even show up in searches.
UBlacklist FTMFW.
there should be a libredirect extension that gives you a bit slower but open platform instead of crap like this.
also as every comment said before, dont use brave. try fennec or ironfox.
What happens if you tap “I’m not using an ad blocker”?
Probably takes you to a bunch of ads - sucker!
But I had ads for breakfast.
Fandom has become progressively more fucked and unusable over the years. Can’t remember the last time I visited that site, it’s been a long while, but I remember being more than mildly infuriated.
You can also add “anti” just in front of “fandom” in the URL, and all the nonsense get stripped out.
this is extra funny because as anyone who’s been to fandom without an ad blocker knows, the site is 80% aids
aids
You know, that’s not wrong…
My eyes and brain felt like me being immunosuppressed by HIV and infected by 17 different bacteria everytime i went there without ad blocker. It is a fully accurate description
I’ve been there. I’ve watched the site enshittify right in front of my own eyes
Well thats because brave is shit. Try a firefox fork like waterfox with ublock origin.
I just did and had 0 issues.
Fandom really is the Valnet of wikis
