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

Use breezewiki

Gotta hit up breezewiki.com.

Thanks didn’t know this existed

Also wasn’t expecting to see “lisp”**

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.

https://getindie.wiki/

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

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

Fandom really is the Valnet of wikis

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

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.

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

TIL
Neat!

Probably takes you to a bunch of ads - sucker!

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

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

Lithp is better to prothethth lithtth

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

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.

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

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

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

I just did and had 0 issues.

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

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

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

Been doing that to skip the annoying kid/adult popup

I'm on Fennec

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

aids

You know, that's not wrong...

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.

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

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

https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension

But I had ads for breakfast.

Cromite has a built in adblocker but it also allows you to install extensions.

I have Ublock Origin and Libredirect installed in Cromite on my phone.

Ah, Ad-Shield. Use https://github.com/FilteringDev/tinyShield for that.
Also, stop using Brave.

Antifandom.com works great to avoid them

As someone who has used AdBlocker for as long as I can remember, I can't come up with a single reason why sites should allow it. Exact same thing with the YouTube controversy. Of course I don't like that they're trying to prevent me from blocking the ads but I sure don't blame them for it. Using an adblocker doesn't necessitate for me to come up with justifications for convincing myself that what I'm doing is actually moral because it's not. I'm perfectly capable of holding both of these two thoughts in my mind at the same time.

My test for whether behaviour is good or not is to consider what the world would be like if everyone did what I do and whether we'd all be better off for it. There one thing is for absolute certain: YouTube would not exist as a free platform. It would either not exist at all or it would be a subscription-based only.

You can have an ad-free service or you can have a free one but you can't have both and demanding that is ridiculous. Even now, the sole reason you're able to use Lemmy for free is because someone else is willing to take the financial hit by paying for the instance upkeep. We all just take it for granted.

If you're old enough, you remember that people put content up for free on the pre-Youtube internet and it was a much better place when made up of only enthusiasts and hobbyists. If Youtube and all its users treating the internet as a vessel for making money went away it would be glorious.

What’s wrong with brave?

CEO is a bigot

Someone is still paying for hosting that content. That works for text, pictures and gifs but once you move to videos it starts getting expensive. I too put content on YouTube without any intention to make money from it but I still understand that it costs YouTube money.

I'm all for passion projects but it still needs to be sustainable one way or another.

Blocking ads is ALWAYS morally positive and ethical.

That's a statement, not an argument.

Brendan Eich can go fuck himself

Firefox with Ublock Origin doesn't have this issue. (Or whatever Firefox derivative you prefer.) Please stop using Chromium-based browsers. Google is actively trying to kill adblocking. Stick with Gecko.

I use the app Wikipanion to access fandom wilis on my phone

I block and and all sites that demand I turn off adblockers. Like, they don’t even show up in searches.

UBlacklist FTMFW.

Agreed and upvoted but the browser is good. It works better than pretty much anything out there especially on android. Firefox for me is getting slower on desktop for some reason. Websites take a lot of time to load.

You should use the plugin Indie Wiki Buddy. It's better than the people saying "just use Breeze Wiki." It actively transfers you to the indie wiki option even when you select a Fandom link (if you have the option set). It also does a lot more than just Breeze Wiki. You can toggle certain wikis on or off and set their priorities. For example, some games won't have a Breeze Wiki page, but they will have some other Wiki, and this handles that without you having to think about it.

Have you tried Firefox on Android? You can actually have plugins. It's the only mobile browser I know of that supports that.

I haven't had your issue with Firefox getting slower though. I use Zen, but it's still Firefox and it seems fine. Maybe it's just the mainline branch getting slower? Could it be AI? Do you have it toggled off?

Use a decent browser and install uBlock Origin, it's the best ad blocker :)

"Please allow ads on this site"

LOL, lmao even.
