See if you can spot the point where I threw my mouse at the screen

EDIT: no it's not the ads, I apologise for ads. I actually saw zero ads, if you see ads it is time to update your adblocker.

I got some really weird and slightly NSFW ads on that page

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You might need a better adblocker. I got zero ads buuut....

Yeah, I pretty much exclusively browse lemmy from mobile, so it opened in rawdog chrome. I've got Firefox nightly with uBlock, but haven't quite weaned myself off the ol' chromium just yet

Oof. Tried waterfox on your droid? All the fun of firefox without the ramping

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol thank you, downloaded waterfox now, it's much nicer!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Enjoy! It also sleeps tabs by default

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have not just yet. One of these days I'll get around to switching to Firefox on desktop, too, and then I'll probably fully switch to Firefox on mobile too

I found FF absolutely wrecked my (older) tablet. Waterfox less so.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, that's what you meant

My phone's pretty new, and seems to handle it alright. I only use it sparingly though, mostly for recipe websites or those that go a bit heavy on the ads

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Would it be the ins and outs of the hooks arse before they get to the tips and solutions?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

oh no, much worse

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

wtf dude, get an adblocker

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago
