I just got to say this website is a nightmare. At least 4 popups overlays just opening the article. The remove ads button just leaves the article and offer you to pay to remove ads. There is also delayed popups appearing while you read the article...

Are they speedrunning obsolence by making sure nobody read their articles online?

Maybe a different browser or an add-on will make it more bearable for you.

I tried it on Firefox with uBlock Origin and apart from the one "Open in app or continue reading in browser" thingy there was nothing.

Most news sites nowadays are absolute cancer on mobile with 20% of screen being the actual content. Is pay of the reason why nobody actually reads articles and go straight to the comments
