I want to test some tweaks to my adblocking, but those ad blocker test sites are crap, so give me your worst and let's see if I can see it clean lmao

Fandom.com

God I hate that place so much

Try this extension for Firefox if you'd prefer to avoid Fandom.

Actually for something similar on pc. On mobile though I just have to use my search engine more thoughtfully. I have a customized google search that automatically omits it from back when I used google but I don't remember where I left the link

Google.com

I knew I should have put a "and don't say Google" line at the end lmfao

You're welcome!

  • Toms hardware
  • engaget
  • pc gamer
  • games radar

most of the tech news sites are all ad shit holes now.

Fresh from my news feed:

  • stuff.co.nz
  • the new stack

Most of the tech news places have been clean for me for awhile, that's why I'm genuinely confused for a second when people say that it's ad-infested 😅

I forgot The New Stack though was one that was getting a few through, now it's clean again

  • stuff.co.nz

Squeaky clean trash articles lol

New Zealand journalism at its finest.

I'd tell you if I knew, but I'm not disabling my ad blocker to find out. :)

[-] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 days ago

Any local newspapers website

[-] X@piefed.world 8 points 5 days ago

I use adblockers mercilessly, so I couldn’t tell you.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.cafe 6 points 5 days ago

Me too man lmao fuck ADs

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Nooooo, that's how they multiply.

Used to read gs here. It's literally unusable on mobile due to redirect hijacks. Dunno how bad desktop is but I assume it's bad.

Loads perfectly clean for me, no redirects (and on mobile), though disqus is broken, but probably nothing of value lost there lmao

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Props to your blockers!

Yahoo.com

Holy shit, an ad every 2-3 articles‽ thankfully they're just empty voids for me, but got dam that's worse than reddits ad rate on scrolling

[-] Battle_Masker 4 points 5 days ago

pch.com. like the site was so ad ridden it stalled when you have even the most basic adblocker

[-] RedC@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

Any streaming piracy site is def the worst, like bingewatch.tv

Just use adblockers
