<unrant> I must confess that when I went to the website containing this article, I was using a second computer that I rarely use, which did not have an adblocker installed. My primary computer has Firefox Privacy Badger installed, and when I went back to the article, using my adblocked machine, the experience was much less obnoxious.</unrant>
What I HIGHLY recommend now is that if you don't have an adblocker installed, do so. Privacy Badger, UBlock Origin, etc, whatever you prefer. I still see ads, but the experience is infinitely less obnoxious.
- a3n 8y agoI'm with you. Use an adblocker. :-)
- darkpuma 8y agoI'd like to point out that with uMatrix set to block all javascript, including first party, the article still renders just fine. The only thing missing is the youtube embeds, which are replaced by hyperlinks to the youtube videos. I find this to be the case more often than not. Most people here would probably be surprised how often javascript is totally unnecessary.
