Use adblockers?
I do, but certain Android browsers don't support plugins. I have to use a specific browser for compatibility reasons with some work shit (I do on-call stuff). I need that to just work, so I can't use, say, Firefox for Android. I use multiple browsers on computers, but I just can't be bothered on my phone. That leaves me with DNS-based ad blockers. Those work almost as well, but only when I'm home or VPNed home. I don't want to use a hosted service for privacy reasons, and I don't want to expose a DNS server on the internet. This means that when I can't VPN or I forget to, I get fandom rage. I'm sure I could do something to address this, but I have bigger fish to fry right now. The nice ad-free fandom frontend sounds like a great compromise to me.
All I can say is don't access fandom websites on your work phone
Time to see if this comes across properly without escaping:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Impressive
