‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything::The term describes the slow decay of online platforms such as Facebook. But what if we’ve entered the ‘enshittocene’?

Do you not have an ad blocker?

Bruh uBlock origin is the way

[–] Garbanzo@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not on my phone, and it's pretty shitty to need add-ons just to make content readable, so whatever

Firefox+ublock origin for android, for iPhone I have no clue

iOS: Wipr takes care of everything. Even stuff Firefox Focus and my PiHole doesn’t.

Adguard does a good job on iOS.

I’m using Firefox focus’ adblocking and a PiHole and I still have three giant ads banners that prevent me from reading on Archive hahaha

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I've only got uBlock Origin running and I don't see any ads

Something's got to be misconfigured on your end friend

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

Firefox focus isn’t as good as ublock origin.

It’s better than nothing.

Wipr took care of all of those banner ads.
