The amount of ads cycling on Fextralife
These 2 screenshots are 1 minute apart, after leaving the tab open on the Steam web browser.
I was showing a friend that they started putting banner ads between comments now, and then more popped up. Reminds me of ROM sites in the early 2000s.

Ublock origin is your friend....
Those game wikis are basically the only ones I use an adblocker on. They're basically unusable on mobile.
I have fextralife black listed. I don't know what their game is but it feels fake. Long winded introductions with little substance and recently ai slop.
If you haven't been using an adblocker since the early 2000's, but actually remember what it was like back then... Why?
Haha, I would never do that to myself. I just get a quick glimpse of the bare 'net when I try the web browser built into Steam. My DNS is mostly filtering telemetry right now, while I leave the bulk of the blocking to uBlock Origin.
It looks like you're looking up a wiki page for items. My experience is that usually -- with the exception of a very few games that set their own up -- the best game wiki is on fandom.com.

For the item that you're looking up there:
https://eldenring.fandom.com/wiki/Staff_of_the_Avatar
Fandom is garbage and if you make the mistake of using it on mobile it’s borderline unusable because of ads.
Here’s an extension to find wikis and avoid fextra/fandom garbage. https://getindie.wiki/
It doesn't appear to list any Elden Ring wiki. Does it have one?
If you can’t find one googling with that extension I would just go without as opposed to giving either of those cesspools traffic. https://eldenring.wiki.gg/wiki/Staff_of_the_Avatar
Some wikis are independent or in a wiki farm that allows a high degree of customization like mirahaze and skywiki and wiki.gg.
