Side note: The Verge website is unbearable anymore to view, I don’t even bother loading it.
Everything is either pay walled, requires login, or the off chance I can see the article in full - there are so many trackers built into everything that my ad blocker breaks links. Case in point, I can’t even view the official Anker recall page.
It’s really been a shame to watch the demise of The Verge over the years.

I always run articles through archive.is because they're a nightmare/impossible to view otherwise. It gets even worse when you're on mobile, shit popping up everywhere constantly, ads in the middle of articles, auto playing video ads, etc. I even pay ~$26/mo for a subscription to a local news site and they STILL show me ads.
