        On phone it is crammed full of ads, even with Pi-hole. The fact that they’re regurgitating weeks-old news for this particular article doesn’t scream quality either.

          What ads?
          Not only do you spout nonsense about things you don’t bother to read, but you don’t even use adblock either? Lol

            The top of the article has a banner ad, there is a floating footer ad that refreshes every 20 seconds, as you scroll there are text ads, image ads, auto-playing video ads (one which floats to the top of the page once you scroll past it). Those ads. Edit to reply to your edit: pi-hole is an adblocker lol

              Seriously though. Firefox and uBlock origin.
              Don’t live with ads.

                  You’re just full of smart decisions I guess.

                  You can ad block on iPhone, check out AdGuard for Safari, it’s good
