I have my DNS on my phone set to dns.adguard-dns.com - seems to work fine for most websites, blocking ads where appropriate. Not so stuff.co.nz. Just seems to hang at their stupid 'scrolling S' loading screen. Any ideas?

I have pihole & same thing, it loads a big S splash screen that animates for ever & goes nowhere. But if you browse to /world first you can then view the whole site.

But, given their "upgrade" also seems to have ditched their RSS feeds, my workaround is to simply not read Stuff anymore.

I kinda think we should have an independent, protected and taxpayer funded media service. Would make for better politicians.

Ignore my ramblings. I'm just frustrated at the state of our media/news and can't think of a solution.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, or are unaware of Radio NZ.

RNZ is great, Of the mediums it doesn't have the same reach, it's quality which should happen on TVNZ etc. I know they are funded as well, but it seems like they are just as bad as everyone else.
