Even when you fight that annoyance with a content blocker, the page itself is aggressive to no end. I scrolled down to see how long the article is. That somehow also triggered a redirect to the root. How is it possible that the most user hostile news sites often get the most visibility? Even here on HN which is so user friendly. What are the mechanics behind this? The url should be changed to a more user friendly news source. How about one of these? https://liliputing.com/2019/05/arm-launches-cortex-a77-cpu-mali-g77-gpu-and-arm-ml-npu.html https://liliputing.com/2019/05/arm-launches-cortex-a77-cpu-m... https://hexus.net/tech/news/cpu/130757-arm-releases-cortex-a77-cpu-next-gen-mobile-devices/ https://hexus.net/tech/news/cpu/130757-arm-releases-cortex-a... https://www.xda-developers.com/arm-cortex-a77-cpu-announcement/ https://www.xda-developers.com/arm-cortex-a77-cpu-announceme... https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/05/27/arm_cortex_a77/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/05/27/arm_cortex_a77/ https://venturebeat.com/2019/05/26/arm-reveals-new-cpu-gpu-and-machine-learning-processor-for-5g-world/ https://venturebeat.com/2019/05/26/arm-reveals-new-cpu-gpu-a...

Thanks! It'd be cool if HN had an alternative article feature.

  If you click the "web" link at the top of the page, it brings you to a search for the post title. You should be able to find a number of alternate sources there

Also worth mentioning AnandTech: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14407/amd-ryzen-3000-announced-five-cpus-12-cores-for-499-up-to-46-ghz-pcie-40-coming-77 https://www.anandtech.com/show/14407/amd-ryzen-3000-announce...

    Yes, thank you.

  The AnandTech coverage is orders of magnitude better, and way less user-hostile, than the techcrunch coverage.

  I can recommend https://hackerweb.app/ https://hackerweb.app/ on mobile.

  And to vote on mobile I have to zoom in because the buttons are way to close to each other and give no feedback which of the two was pressed (and no way to find out after the fact).

    One tip, when you up vote or down vote a link is added to the comments header. It will either be “unvote” or “undown” depending on whether you up or downvoted the comment.
