- nmstoker 1y agoYes, annoying. The article feels like it's building to a point and then they end with effectively: lots of people tried them, they're not so popular now. The End.
- bcraven 1y agoI can only suggest switching to Firefox then, or finding an 'open external links in browser' setting perhaps?
- kalleboo 1y agoOctal uses the OS Safari view for its in-app browser which uses whatever ad blocker you have installed
- Biganon 1y agoOh such a setting obviously exists, but it's annoying having dozens of HN related tabs clutter Firefox, there are convenient gestures that allow to quickly switch between article and comments, etc.

- amadeoeoeo 1y agoIt seems after making it several times to the front page in HN the author has decided to give this (apart from the ads) really interesting blog a new try... I hope they find a less intrusive way to monetize it.
- Mistletoe 1y agoI didn't see a single ad but I was on a desktop with UBO lite.
