@Moss excellent idea - I wonder if we should have one for news websites too which are so full of adverts and rubbish that I give up trying to read the content because it takes so long to load all the cr@p - perhaps wc;dr after the original 😂

ublockorigin.com/ will dispense with the ads, and if the content is truly appalling chuck the whole site on its blacklist

@fixatedpersonsunit that's a good point. I use Firefox on my laptop with adblock and it's great but I usually use "naked browser" on android since it's uncluttered and fast but it doesn't support extensions so that's a good reason for me to switch to Firefox on mobile too 🤔

Doesn't seem as effective on android, plus my phone isn't rooted so I tend to mistrust it in general and avoid apps

Really should get a dumb phone

@eskibrew @fixatedpersonsunit I switched a while back to Firefox with ublock and it seems effective. On my LAN I have a Pi that probably helps, but while mobile/vpn I haven't noticed any ads (and it'd be very obvious). Only thing I use Chrome for is as a backup to check if the site's broken or odd on Firefox
