This page is ridden of ads, popups, and sensational writing. They may be facts but its written as clickbait filler to scroll past even more ads. Clicking the back button redirects me to a never-seen-before and full-screen Ad page before returning to Hacker News. I am never visiting insideevs.com again. If this is real news, a real news website shall report it.

Amazing what a difference uBlock origin has, I didn't notice at all.

This is why I started using a DNS ad blocker. It's not that I hate ads, it's simply that I use more than one tab, and my Apple Silicon doesn't have enough RAM and processing power to keep rendering the ever-changing ads in all the tabs. It is a little ironic that these EV sites have some of the most annoying ads, including all those video rolls on every page, wasting an immense amount of power.

  Can you please provide more details about the DNS ad blocker? I don't know anything about it but it sounds intriguing.

    People will mention PiHole and that's a neat solution if you want to maintain a server. If you don't, https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html lets you point your DNS servers at AdGuard and let them block ads for you. No maintenance required. One caveat: once in a while, like maybe once a year, my wife or I encounter a site that AdGuard blocks and we need to set our DNS back to "normal" for things to work. But you'll probably have the same issue with PiHole, which relies on lists of spammers or other undesirables. PS: no relationship with AdGuard other than happily using their service.

While blogspam sites are a symptom of web publishing's race to the bottom, "actual news" sites are pretty much indistinguishable when it comes to ads and popups.
