Video playing, ad that scrolls, two lines of a story, the bottom popping up with notifications every few minutes over the top of more scrolling ads.
Yay internet.

“This says the bibble…”
So no one’s going to talk about this guy having 61 tabs open? I think that’s the real crime here
firefox with adguard extension? Mullvad with adblocking DNS?
A workaround I like is using the Reader View built into Safari on iOS – strips most junk out, leaving clean text
Firefox Mobile also has this
It’s really the only way sometimes.
iOS reading mode is great for cutting out all that BS
Use Brave Browser 🦁
Brave and speed reader/block scripts usually works for me
I’ve been using a fun read-it-later app called Omnivore. It has a great ad-free reader view, and it even supports saving lemmy posts.
Brave has built-in ad blocking, so no need to worry about add-ons. And it’s familiar for Chrome users since it’s also based on Chromium open source

I have often seen sites like that, after opening a link from the Google Discover feed that suggests stories of interest to me.
I have just started to block sites like this from showing up in suggested articles. There are almost certainly another site with the same story without shitty pop-in video players.
