Also Firefox gives you reading mode which gives you well formatted text without distracting images or ads.
Sometimes help you to circumvent site registration and read the article.
Also supports dark mode.
Never "UBlock" always use "UBlock Origin"."UBlock origin" is way better(filters) than UBlock(which has an accepted ads program,also owned by Adblock Plus). Its available for Firefox android.
For more info on "UBlock" vs "UBlock origin" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin#History
Obligatory mention that Firefox Mobile supports plugins like uBlock Origin. You don't have to suffer this rubbish!
I think all the people who are recommending things like Firefox plus uBlock are missing the point. Mobile internet shouldn't require that to be readable. It's bad design and it should be discouraged. If you want advertising on your site, fine, but don't make it so obtrusive that it makes the site literally unreadable.
Mobile internet shouldn’t require that to be readable.
You're right, but we can't realistically affect web designers directly. We can only control our devices, so we should focus our energy there first.
No, they're not missing the point. We all agree that mobile should have readability, it's just that the reality is we have no way to enforce it. Also, Firefox extensions like "Automatic Reader View" allow you to whitelist websites and force Firefox Reader view by default, as an attempt to create a plage more like what you are looking for without needing top down force that it would require to fix the issue (we all know chrome won't do it)
Firefox Mobile has uBlock Origin that works on every site, even in incognito mode. Give it a try if this post pains you!
The Internet is unusable without an ad blocker
Fandom wikis are so fucking shit at this
this site helps looking up stuff on fandom wikis without going insane.
I'm reminded of that Futurama episode where the gang logs onto year-3000 VR internet and is immediately assaulted by a vicious swarm of flying viagra ads.
Firefox+Ublock origin rules
So when shifting to firefox with ublock origin?
Bro is using chrome 💀💀💀
And the cherry on top is that the article is probably AI generated garbage anyways
phones used to be fun to use, now they're just miserable because advertisers have weaponized the limitations of the format
LMAO man i swear that i've seen something similar in some futuristic dystopian movie.
Using an ad blocker is essentially a requirement these days
There's like an ad every paragraph or two on sites like these. Then apparently that's not enough so they have auto-playing video ads and pop-up ads too. Do they seriously think people will tolerate this and not go off the website?
Can't believe some websites think this is ok somehow... Today I've been trying to find some recipes and so many websites have endless popups and annoyances as you scroll through the page. It's seriously awful. I don't know how people cope without adblocker!
justtherecipe.com
Go there, paste the URL to the recipe, and it'll extract it from the bullshit for you.
To address the biggest one to use Firefox I actually have it on my phone it’s just remembering to break the habit.
Set FF as default then hide the icon for chrome in a folder.
Clever people recommending browsers, DNSes, extentions... But is it how this suppose to work?
Normalize pure HTML websites.
I have adhd. When I can internet on my laptop, I read fast, massive info processing, able to rapidly research vast amounts of data, mind can work high speed.
Right now, I have no internet. Trying to accomplish anything on my tiny phone, brain can't compute, carving on stone tablets slow.
in fire fox there often is a kind of textblock symbol on the right side of the link. it turns it into very readable text und ignores the banners.
Also Fuck Jk Rowling
Ublock origin is your friend ~~or use brave browser~~
Edit: scratch that
or use brave browser
Maybe not...

The ads make it impossible to even read articles any more. It's parasitic. The purpose of going to a site gets thwarted by extreme ads creating so much visual clutter I just nope right the fuck out of there.
I've been encountering adblocker-blockers more frequently these days. Just a race to the bottom, isn't it?
People who don't use ad blockers get a MUCH different experience. Especially on mobile. I made the decision to pony up the cash for an app called AdGuard years ago. It hosts its own VPN locally on your phone and filters traffic through it. The first time I learned how it worked I thought "Damn, that's a really good idea!"
It used to be "what are a thousand lawyers chained to the bottom of the ocean?"
These days I'd say “what are a thousand managers and execs chained to the bottom of the ocean?"
It's not the editors doing this shit, it's not the developers deciding this shit.
It's the managers and fuck most (but not all) of them
As a website developer, I can say with certainty that most website developers argue against this shit. We argue until we're blue in the face. But ultimately it's not our decision and we'd like to continue having houses to live in and food to eat. They're arguments that we rarely win, unless we can call on the legal department and get them to balk. Ethics arguments hold no sway for corporate managers, and neither do user experiences.
We estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individuals visual field before inducing seizures.
