Lord have mercy fandom really has become unbearable with the ads and pop ups.

Install an ad blocker.

I 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.

There 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.

I just opened this my iPhone with 1Blocker installed. I saw no ads. It’s been around since iOS 8

Never heard of it, appreciate the recc!

Edit: ah only works on safari

You are on iOS. There is only safari. Any other "web browser" is just a skin over safari

BolexNOLA 4 days ago | parent [-]

Yes 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

Just a note: If you have a Windows computer, Apple has a plug in for Firefox and Chrome that syncs bookmarks to iCloud and Safari.

Linux machine but maybe it works anyway?

Don't accept devices that limit your ad blocker options.

Does 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.

No, 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?

Or another option: we could remember that the ultimate offender here is Fandom.

My choice of device is irrelevant when assessing their crappy site.
