No, I do not want to find hot singles in my area, I just want to watch my silly little shows!

      are there browsers even without adblock extensions that allow popups? I thought that was eradicated in mid 00s.

      Same on chrome, ublock does it’s thing.

      Also duckduckgo on mobile is pretty ok at it, fandom wikis still pop up videos and shit though

        I specifically recommend Firefox because Google’s recent changes (depreciating manifest v2) will make UBO less and less effective over time on any Chromium based browser (which is basically every browser you’ve heard of that isn’t Firefox). So if you want the best ad blocking experience, Firefox is the only real option going forward.

            iOS uses Safari for webview and does not allow any other browsers, so other “browsers” you see on iOS are just Safari wrapped in different skins. That means their usual extensions wouldn’t work.

            There’s a system-level content blocker feature that can block ads for Safari in iOS, but I don’t know if there is anything quite comparable to uBlock Origin available.

        I literally haven’t seen a pop-up that I didn’t need to manually enable in years. Didn’t realize they were still an issue…

    They’re useful for devs, they can allow for quick settings access without shifting around the UI a whole bunch.

    I like them, when they can be closed with escape.
