Not worth it to me. I was casually curious, but not curious enough to work around the fact that they’ve made their content almost inaccessible.

- soco 5y agoThat's fine, but please do install UBlock Origin in any case. Future you will be thankful.
- eloisius 5y agoOf course I do on my laptop, but I've never really tried to improve the situation on my phone aside from installing AdGuard a long time ago. I just installed AdBlock and enabled every filter. Checked this site and the ads are gone! Thanks for the push.
- alickz 5y agoWhile we're suggesting QoL extensions I would highly recommend both PrivacyBadger by the EFF (for blocking 3rd party trackers) and SponsorBlock for YouTube (mark and optionally auto-skip all the annoying sponsor / intro / self-promotion) SponsorBlock is also available for YouTube Vanced on Android and I couldn't recommend it enough.
- zeeZ 5y agoWith the amount of ads I've gotten that redirect the browser to my mobile ISP's store trying to get me to buy some knockoff game or a site that causes it to constantly vibrate with a fake virus warning for my phone model, and other shenanigans, plus the stuff that happens on desktop, I no longer consider ad blockers QoL. They're a security essential like TLS and not leaving your phone unlocked.
- afterburner 5y agoFirefox mobile allows addons, including uBlock origin (and Dark Reader!)
- criddell 5y agoYou should install a blocker for security reasons.
