I disabled Brave shields to use this site and then my phone turned into an air fryer from all the bloatware it was loading. Temps went up like 20 DC.

The spite I have for fandom… is… so… intense

Numbers go brrrr

Breeze wiki is already mentioned but to automatically avoid this nonsense in the future I like libredirect.

https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension

[-] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 hours ago

Obligatory https://getindie.wiki/

Don't use fandom, use other wikis if you can. The extension also has breezewiki support for the fandom sites that don't have alternatives

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago

Well thats because brave is shit. Try a firefox fork like waterfox with ublock origin.

I just did and had 0 issues.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 36 points 3 hours ago

this is extra funny because as anyone who's been to fandom without an ad blocker knows, the site is 80% aids

[-] bhamlin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

aids

You know, that's not wrong...

[-] raman_klogius@ani.social 6 points 2 hours ago

I've been there. I've watched the site enshittify right in front of my own eyes

[-] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Wikia is actual cancer. Dont validiate their claim to a concept they have no right to.

[-] insanemantis@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Tap or click the URL, change "fandom" to "antifandom"

Been doing that to skip the annoying kid/adult popup

Also, don't use Brave.

Brendan Eich is both vocally and financially opposed to LGBT+ equality. The browser has actively enabled targeted ads. They've actively promoted crypto and have been in bed with specific crypto brokers to promote its use. They've been adding their own promo codes to URLs for private benefit.

They don't give a shit about privacy. Don't touch them with a barge pole.

I don't mean to make light of the bigotry, but the fact that that fuckwad inflicted JavaScript upon the world is reason enough to hate him and avoid his shit by itself. He has a proven track record of incompetence and terrible design decisions.

[-] greenskye@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

If you don't like Firefox mobile is there another ad blocking mobile browser that you'd suggest?

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Personally I use waterfox, it's what firefox was before the ai trash was shoved into it and what it should still be.

[-] feannag@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago

Are Firefox forks on the table? I use IronFox and like it for mobile use.

[-] raman_klogius@ani.social 5 points 2 hours ago

I'm on Fennec

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

If you already have strong opinions about browsers, then I'm guessing this is unlikely, but if you have an iPhone, Orion is decent.

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 12 points 4 hours ago

To use BreezeWiki, just replace "fandom.com" with "breezewiki.com", and you'll instantly be teleported to a better world

TIL
Neat!

[-] rounding_error@lemmy.today 7 points 6 hours ago

Thanks didn’t know this existed

Also wasn’t expecting to see “lisp”**

[-] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

Lithp is better to prothethth lithtth

[-] morriscox@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

One entry in the Testimonials section links to a satire website and people might not realize that.

[-] stsquad@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 hours ago

Nice, although I'm slightly suss about the extension wanting access to my Google data.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 28 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Fandom has become progressively more fucked and unusable over the years. Can’t remember the last time I visited that site, it’s been a long while, but I remember being more than mildly infuriated.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 6 points 3 hours ago

You can also add "anti" just in front of "fandom" in the URL, and all the nonsense get stripped out.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 20 points 6 hours ago

Gotta hit up breezewiki.com.

[-] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

Never had a problem getting on that shit site. It’s Safari ands Wipr2 on t my phone or it’s that or Firefox with uBlock Origin on the desktop.

These sites are fighting for the scraps while more and more people just ask the chatbot for the information.

What happens if you tap "I'm not using an ad blocker"?

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago

Probably takes you to a bunch of ads - sucker!

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago

But I had ads for breakfast.
