- tumblewit 5y agoOn a small mobile it’s worse because then I have to basically avoid tapping any ads and thats much harder than using a mouse on a computer.
- forgotmypw17 5y agoI browse the Web on a number of new and older devices. My most effective strategy is to abandon quickly sites which make demands or purposely inconvenience me. It's just like people and businesses. I wouldn't hang out with someone rude and obnoxious. I wouldn't keep working with a company whose practices were questionable in the past. So why would I go out of my way to read some typically low-value content from a resource designed to be hostile or which tells me my browser isn't good enough? I wouldn't. I would just close the tab and eventually remember not to open links from there anymore. Whenever I adopted this no-tolerance strategy, the Web became infinitely more pleasant and welcoming. At the same time, the average quality of content I get has improved dramatically. I think there is a correlation between shitty content and shitty site construction.
- snjy7 5y agoUsing an Ad blocker and whitelisting websites you want to support is the only viable way to browse the Internet now.
- hammyhavoc 5y agoIt's one of several valid ways. Reader modes in browsers work just fine for most people.
