Holy fuck the ads on that site make it nearly impossible to read

Edit: on Firefox on Android*... It's atrocious

You're using Firefox without unlock origin?

You need a new video card.

It's a funny article I'd like to share to my friends but there's no way I'm going to send someone into that mess

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What mess? All I see is s clean ad free page.

Ok I'm sure it's fine on desktop but I'm using Firefox on Mobile and it looks like this

There's like three ads at a time and the ad at the bottom literally puts blue bars around the edges of the article. I'm just blown away by how shitty and intrusive it is.

You can use add-ons in Firefox for Android. Not sure what version you're running (I'm on 125.2.0) and I can use many extensions:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/ublock-origin/ should directly let you add or remove the extension.

Thank you, didn't know this and it works great

Try AdGuard. It's an ad blocker for Android (using a local VPN sinkhole). Article is ad-free for me.
