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.

Edit: Oh wow! Did not expect so many responses. First let me say, thank you for taking the time to read and respond! To address the biggest response to use Firefox I actually have it on my phone it's just remembering to break the habit. This was more to show what an average user who just uses what they're used to experiences on mobile browsing.

Why do you have 61 tabs opened? Jeez

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Closing tabs it a lot of work. I have infinity symbol showing there

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I would have way more open, but Firefox has a cool feature to put week old tabs into a dormant menu. Then close them after so much time in the menu.

With ADHD it's a godsend.

It used to be "what are a thousand lawyers chained to the bottom of the ocean?"

These days I'd say “what are a thousand managers and execs chained to the bottom of the ocean?"

It's not the editors doing this shit, it's not the developers deciding this shit.

It's the managers and fuck most (but not all) of them

POV: you just opened a link someone posted on Lemmy via your mobile app.

Mobile internet is hot garbage.

[–] KrapKake 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Set one of these providers as your private DNS in phone settings... if iOS allows it. I use the Mullvad. For the rest of you on android use FF+uBlock AND set your DNS.

base.dns.mullvad.net

dns.adguard-dns.com

9b3afc.dns.nextdns.io

I guess nobody is going to talk about the 61 open tabs on a mobile phone

[–] thehatfox 11 points 1 year ago

61? I currently have 442 open tabs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Second comment: use privacy enabled browsers, either Firefox or DuckDuckGo browser

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (10 children)

Actually it's your fault for not using ad-block.

Technically you can blame a website, but this is the case with almost all of them. The whole internet is like this and you cannot do anything about it. At least not by yourself.

Instead, you should fix this for yourself:

  1. Use Firefox and install uBlock extension.
  2. Use ad-blocking DNS server.

Kiwi is Chromium what's an issues for the open web. Firefox+ ublock origin. And if someone want a F-Droid link, you can search for Fennec.

That's probably one reason why it became a habit to stay on Lemmy, often not even opening the article.

It reminds me of the scene from Ready Player One when Desmond is saying in his board meeting, saying once they get a hold of the Oracle , that then they can put up to 80% adds on the screen before inducing seizures!!! I always wondered if it was a joke or live dark humor about where the internet is going ..

Adblock via DNS is your friend.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and if you press the history back button to get away from that ad-ridden nonsense, they intercept that to "offer" more "articles" to "read" or better said they try to hold you hostage to serve even more ads to you. Should be illegal, but money.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Mobile FF is great but you can go one step further and us adblock dns as well.

Because of this I use Pocket by Firefox.

I know that its not Open Source and there are probably better programms but I kinda like it for its simplicity but there are also recommended articles if I have read all my saved ones.
