Two popups before I can read an article means you don't get read. Bye.
Using an ad blocker is basically requirement of browsing the internet at the moment.
Built in browsers in apps don't have them.
Jerboa uses my Firefox app
I have no idea if this works iPhones because Apple pretty restrictive (Do they allow anyone to use anything other than Safari or are they still on that anti-consumer kick), but on Android you can set the browser engine the in-app browsers use. So you can set it to Firefox and then have plugins.
I'm using that now.
Or you can just turn in-app browsers off.
Yes, safari on iOS has a zillion ad blocker apps too
In this instance it’s an oddly good thing that in app browser engines are restricted to Safari: because it gets the ad blocking you set up for Safari. I didn’t even know that site had ads!
That aside, while the in app engine is still locked, Apple has been allowing different browsers (not browser engines, mind you) for many years now and with the eu regulators curiously doing their job lately, they are going to allow different engines too. Although I’ve read that it’s a bit of a trick, because then developers would have to develop and support two different versions of their browsers, one with whatever engine, and one for the rest of the world…
This comes from a Vivaldi user btw.
Depends on which browser is the default, I think. Even if that doesn't work you can set you private DNS and block most things though.
Gross.
I think people misunderstood what I meant entirely. I'm saying it's gross to need an ad blocker just to browse the web, which should be in line with the values of the people here. I got down voted badly and I think it is because there was some possible alternative explanation that I still don't understand.
No u
Ye u right.
They don’t care, you already saw the ads
I'm sure there's more ads further down the page and now I won't be opening any more links to their site.
