Lord have mercy fandom really has become unbearable with the ads and pop ups.
- coldpie 1y agoInstall an ad blocker.
- Forgeties79 1y agoI opened this on an iPhone which has fewer adblock options. Desktop is better locked down. Regardless I can still complain about how intrusive the ads are.
- coldpie 1y agoThere are many ad block options on iPhone. I currently use Wipr 2, but in the past I've used both 1Blocker and AdBlock Pro with success.
- JustExAWS 1y agoI just opened this my iPhone with 1Blocker installed. I saw no ads. It’s been around since iOS 8
- Forgeties79 1y agoNever heard of it, appreciate the recc! Edit: ah only works on safari
- mrguyorama 1y agoYou are on iOS. There is only safari. Any other "web browser" is just a skin over safari
- Forgeties79 1y agoYes I know everything is wrapped around safari. But I like having Firefox syncing across devices. Edit: ah forgot my vpn was off, usually clears all that up for me. Much better now

- JustExAWS 1y agoJust a note: If you have a Windows computer, Apple has a plug in for Firefox and Chrome that syncs bookmarks to iCloud and Safari.
- Forgeties79 1y agoLinux machine but maybe it works anyway?
- account42 1y agoDon't accept devices that limit your ad blocker options.
- Forgeties79 1y agoDoes this discussion strike you as one where I’m deliberating whether or not to chuck my smartphone and buy into a new ecosystem to avoid ads on fandom? These types of comments are always very unhelpful.
- ogurechny 1y agoNo, that's just a reminder that you had a choice, and chose empty talk about “ecosystems” over ability to control what you can see on “your” screen. You've stepped on a rake once, you got some experience, why repeat it over and over again?
- Forgeties79 1y agoOr another option: we could remember that the ultimate offender here is Fandom. My choice of device is irrelevant when assessing their crappy site.
