Are they getting worse?


The full page adverts when clicking on a new topic. I feel they started off just seeing a few every hour or so but now it feels like Im getting adverts every other topic.

On the plus side at least Im not getting those weird ass harlequin fetus or hentai adverts anymore.

The full-page ads are out of fucking control

And it's even started redirecting the page to those "your phone is infected with malware" scams. Way to go, Fandom.

I never even seen porn before those hentai ads started showing up. Now I am addicted and my compuware is infected with bugs.

I also bought some if those sex toys but I havent received them yet and I think my credit card is stolen. I reached out to SBAllen for a refund but he has not replied yet.

Haven't seen any ads so far. Hopefully it stays that way.

I usually browse GameFAQs on my phone, FWIW. Might check and see if it's different on my laptop.

Honestly I hardly ever see any ads compared to 5 or 6 years ago when the ads where very hostile for mobile users.
Like ocassionally a add will go fullscreen and there wouldn't be any way to close the ad, or if there was an a cancel button the moment you clicked on it would divert you to advertisment. It was bad for iPhone users because you couldn't just scroll up because the tab/website search bar would never appear, nor would the back button appear on the bottom of page... You either had to close the browser completely or click on the ad and close the tab go get out of it. Android didn't have it that bad because android phones had a physical back button and such making it easier to evade those ads.

You missed the part where I admitted I moved to Adblock after seeing the deformed babies.

I was happy to allow ads before that but it took them so long to rectify it I had to on my laptop so I wouldnt get flagged by my works internet filters.

What options for chrome on iOS are there for ad blocking?

That is why I run Firefox (desktop) with uBlock Origin, Ad Block and Privacy Badger.

Currently uBlock has blocked 19 ads and Ad Block 10 ads.

Only having just one ad blocker is just crazy.

There's really not any reason to be using more than one ad blocker, especially since they're using the same filter lists

It works, you just have to keep your filters up-to-date.

I block on both desktop and mobile. This websight uses many times more bandwidth on serving ads than actual content.

Excuse me whilst I laugh hysterically at the utter garbage you have posted.

Also I wouldn't click on that link if you paid me.

OK then if you think what you said is true then answer me this:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/2/1/AAfUmvAAEpqV.jpg

Shouldn't those be equal if they use the same lists like you claim in your laugh riot post?

Just run along and take your fucking shit claims away with you.

If you want to run one Ad Blocker that is your concern but expect it to not cover everything I will run more than one to cover all bases.

You may belive that crap those websites claim but I do not.

You just run along with your one shitty little ad blocker whilst I continue to use Firefox with uBlock Origin, Ad Block, Ad Blocker for Youtube, Sponsor Block for Youtube and Privacy Badger stuffed into it,

I see no ads anywhere I go.

SponsorBlock is great, but Ad Block and Ad Blocker for YouTube are just doubling up on what uBO is already doing. It's like wearing two condoms at once. You get *no* extra benefit unless something is messed up on your end's configuration
