Good lord that is a horrendous website on mobile.

for the first 2 seconds: that's no bad... then all the pop ups came on

Thank you Firefox and pi-hole... (I'm like "what popups? What ads?)

Firefox+ublock seemed to take care of it for me. I had to refresh the page before I could scroll though

That reminds me... I may have turned off ublock a bit ago. Oops.

Had just 4 X-Buttons… could be worse. 🥸

One of those X's was actually a Twitter logo. Fucking thing gets me all the time...

I remember when at my 2-4 grade school my teachers talked about "x-ing" out of programs and applications on a computer instead of closing. Something like this would be a surprise.

If you disable javascript in ublock it is actually readable

LOL I have Ublock Origin so I don't see the pop-ups but the website just freezes after 3 seconds of scrolling, and I have to leave. They've really ruined their site. 😆

I have custom DNS filtering on my iPhone and the website looks perfectly fine. No ads or anything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That doesn't mean the website isn't garbage. It's good to call out trash sites like this so that people will stop going there.

I just have Wipr (which is not a particularly good adblocker, it fails utterly at handling anti-adblocker sites), and it looks just fine on my phone too.

Meh it worked just fine for me in Firefox Android with UBlock Origin and NoScript.
