A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Can't you use Firefox as your default browser on Android and it loads without those ads?
I have it set as default but Thunder seems to ignore that and use it's own browser apparently. I have a VPN ad block running as well most of the time but shut it down cos I had low battery. Seeing a relatively mainstream previously respected site acting like that shocked me after all this time. It feels like being on a dodgy porm site in the 90s.
Ah yeah that how they get you for sure. I try to read stuff in my Google news feed through the chrome pop up browser and the ads are so annoying I almost always end up reopening them in Firefox.
