I keep getting hit by horny ads from a company called Toptoon (this is one of the tamer ones).

My absolute favourite /s is getting the random ass youtube videos that FOLLOW you down the page and force you to close them. Better yet though, I've seen those videos stop for ad breaks.

The ads are playing ads

We're so cooked.

Is that like their way of forcing ad clicks or something? Or does clicking the x on an ad not count as an ad click?

Interesting question, wouldn't surprise me if this is true.

The x is also smaller than a flea's dick. One of the reasons I stopped using Chrome years ago.

The ads are so aggressively implemented now on mobile. When I browse the site on my phone Im getting served with varying combinations of ads including but not limited to pop ups, pop unders, video ads and at least 2 banner ads per page, 3 if there are lots of posts.

Its pretty ridiculous and aggravating.

Is there an iOS version or equivalent?

Thats the third banner ad I was talking about

Was the acquisition by Fandom that much of a loss that they need to inundate the site with ads to offset the loss?

Fandom's entire MO is to stuff their sites with ads. Mobile is impossible to navigate without a good adblocker. I think this site was literally tacked on in a package deal so it's not that Fandom needs to flood the site with ads, they just choose to.

I use Chrome on Mobile with no ad block. It's fine. I take closing full screen ads as a sort of fly swatting game. It was never that bad strangely. And fun....... whatever. I can say things no one believes. I've been using the Vivaldi browser and this thing crushes ads everywhere. The best browser ever until I guess ppl know it too well.

I couldn't tell you how much they ramped it up since I've been using ublock for years now, and stopped using chrome.

But yes, ads started getting noticeably worse once Fandom took over.

Only on mobile for me because I just use the default safari browser on my iPhone and never bothered switching to anything else
