If anyone from Scirbd is reading this, please fix your mobile website. You advertise yourself more than the content. https://i.ibb.co/2n8HdBx/Screenshot-202008

  > You advertise yourself more than the content. I'm pretty sure that's a "feature" not a bug.

  These websites make their mobile websites good enough so you won't leave, but bad enough so you feel like you should download the app (such as gigantic banners that make mobile browsing miserable). The A/B testing shows that it's a very effective dark pattern.

    It makes me go away from their app. I removed all the banners with uBlock Origin. I had to temporarily get them back to take the screenshot.

    The only reason they push for their apps is showing hard to remove ads and harvesting more data. I stick to Firefox, ublock and adaway root.
