Mobile internet is hot garbage.
POV: you just opened a link someone posted on Lemmy via your mobile app.
I guess nobody is going to talk about the 61 open tabs on a mobile phone
61? I currently have 442 open tabs.
Checking in with... checks Infinity tabs
It reminds me of the scene from Ready Player One when Desmond is saying in his board meeting, saying once they get a hold of the Oracle , that then they can put up to 80% adds on the screen before inducing seizures!!! I always wondered if it was a joke or live dark humor about where the internet is going ..
One thing I've learned from history is that there's plenty of examples of things that happened that writers wouldn't use for fiction because audiences wouldn't believe it.
I sometimes wonder who is willing to put up with this shit if I end up on the internet without an ad blocker. I don't need to put ad blockers on a list of essential tools because the internet without ad blockers reminds me very quickly to go get one.
The fight against ad blockers is IMO actually a fight against having a useful www because the more intrusive an ad is, the more likely I'll just go do something else.
Yeah, I will not be a part of being forced to watch ads. Whatever they do to force ads, there will be a way around it and if a site makes you use chrome so they can force ads, then I won't be doing shit with your site.
My local utility company makes you use chrome to pay your bill online. I call every month and waste someones time taking my payment. I refuse to put up with bullshit.
Yeah, and if you press the history back button to get away from that ad-ridden nonsense, they intercept that to "offer" more "articles" to "read" or better said they try to hold you hostage to serve even more ads to you. Should be illegal, but money.
That's probably one reason why it became a habit to stay on Lemmy, often not even opening the article.
Its foss and supports extensions like:
Kiwi is Chromium what's an issues for the open web. Firefox+ ublock origin. And if someone want a F-Droid link, you can search for Fennec.
Adblock via DNS is your friend.
Mobile FF is great but you can go one step further and us adblock dns as well.
Because of this I use Pocket by Firefox.
I know that its not Open Source and there are probably better programms but I kinda like it for its simplicity but there are also recommended articles if I have read all my saved ones.
Use a Firefox based browser with ublock origin. I use mull
AdGuard Pro on iOS is decent, but no where nearly as good as uBlock.
Iceraven + ublock origin and its all gone.
