    My God bleeping computer is just a cesspool of ads, even with a blocker enabled.

      Run a pihole dns server on your network, I didn’t even realize they ran ads on the site. I just popped off wifi and on to cellular, and wow yeah it’s rough.

        My god. I just switched to a pihole cluster last night and I feel like I’ve been transported back 20 years to a time when news sites were designed with readability as a top concern and not monetization.

          It’s an amazing feeling, enjoy it. It’s a probably equally as awesome a feeling as when you see ads while on public wifi somewhere and realize that the no ad experience has been completely normalized for you again.
