Site is okay in Firefox Focus, one site-related pop up to “level up your news game” or some bullshit but I’m not even going through my PiHole right now and there’s a ton of empty space where trash used to live
Quick edit: site is cancer is Safari even with Wipr 2, holy balls you’re right. I love Firefox focus hahaha
Yah, same on Safari. Only Focus deals with the page well. On Safari with a good adblocker, the pop up comes up and then the page says “page won’t load, click okay to find out why” and says “okay” or “cancel” which is obv shady ass malware or something.
PiHole kills the “level up your game” popup but it still loads the janky “click okay” shit in Safari… focus is the only mobile browser that can handle this horrible web site on iOS…
Been having a lot of fun with the latest adtech ratfuckery where sites will crash themselves purposefully when they realize I have an ad blocker installed on iOS/iPadOS safari.
“There was a problem loading the page. Please click OK to learn more.”
I’ve started full-on blocking domains on my pihole for websites that have started to host their own intrusive/tracking ads, break due to other ad domains being blocked, have non-bypassable adblock blocker, or whatever other anti-choice nonsense. Like IMDb won’t load content with the ad elements blocked, so IMDb is just blocked as a whole. Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!
Hasn’t been a substantial degradation in experience, if I’m being honest. Barely even notice it outside of one-off searches and stuff, and having to find a new source of info about what I’m watching (if anyone has recommendations, I’d love them!!)
Site is cancer on mobile
Not if you actually step into the 21st century and use a fucking adblocker.

You’d be surprised how often pressing reader mode works 100% for just giving you the article.

No, there wasn’t a problem until you made one.

Between a pihole and uBlock in firefox, I don’t see any ads, but IMDb still loads content for me!
You seriously must be doing something wrong. I run uBlock Origin in addition to a pihole for dns and i have no issues using imdb.
