Use breezewiki

this is extra funny because as anyone who's been to fandom without an ad blocker knows, the site is 80% aids

Firefox with Ublock Origin doesn't have this issue. (Or whatever Firefox derivative you prefer.) Please stop using Chromium-based browsers. Google is actively trying to kill adblocking. Stick with Gecko.

"our site is supported by ads"

hmmmm

"!w fandom (website)"

fascinating

Fandom has become progressively more fucked and unusable over the years. Can’t remember the last time I visited that site, it’s been a long while, but I remember being more than mildly infuriated.

Obligatory https://getindie.wiki/

Don't use fandom, use other wikis if you can. The extension also has breezewiki support for the fandom sites that don't have alternatives

Gotta hit up breezewiki.com.

How to allow ads on school & corporate networks

Seems pretty fucking sketchy. "Please use these tricks to bypass your admin"

Well thats because brave is shit. Try a firefox fork like waterfox with ublock origin.

I just did and had 0 issues.

The root cause is going to Fandom in first instance.

https://getindie.wiki/

Ah, Ad-Shield. Use https://github.com/FilteringDev/tinyShield for that. Also, stop using Brave.

Antifandom.com works great to avoid them

Fandom is such a shitshow... I was part of a wikia based wiki for more than a decade and experienced the transition following the buyout rebrand to fandom/curse (it apparently wasn't a buyout, sure felt like one though).

The first thing they did was fire almost all the local staff and replace it by their people, then the enshittification began; they introduced a new discussion feed to replace the forum function (which was basically just lazy a Twitter clone). It was completely separate from the main wiki and pretty much killed off that side of the community. There were a lot of users that just used that without ever stepping a foot into the main wiki, which obviously isn't very helpful when the site relies on users to create and maintain articles.

They also trippled the amount of ads on the site and introduced a new layout that fucked up the old one we had meticulously created.

I left that place in 2017 and so did pretty much all of the users and admins I knew. Once one of the top ten German language wikis, it's pretty much abandoned now.

You should use the plugin Indie Wiki Buddy. It's better than the people saying "just use Breeze Wiki." It actively transfers you to the indie wiki option even when you select a Fandom link (if you have the option set). It also does a lot more than just Breeze Wiki. You can toggle certain wikis on or off and set their priorities. For example, some games won't have a Breeze Wiki page, but they will have some other Wiki, and this handles that without you having to think about it.

Please allow my dick and balls in your face, Fandom 🖕

Ohh, look at that, another website disappears from the net. Need to start taking any site that does that shit and spread it out on nomadnet

there should be a libredirect extension that gives you a bit slower but open platform instead of crap like this.

also as every comment said before, dont use brave. try fennec or ironfox.

Use a decent browser and install uBlock Origin, it's the best ad blocker :)

What happens if you tap "I'm not using an ad blocker"?

Fandom is pure evil. We should all get rid of it.

Tap or click the URL, change "fandom" to "antifandom"

Been doing that to skip the annoying kid/adult popup

I block and and all sites that demand I turn off adblockers. Like, they don’t even show up in searches.

UBlacklist FTMFW.

"Please allow ads on this site"

LOL, lmao even.

Wikia is actual cancer. Dont validiate their claim to a concept they have no right to.

I use this bullshit to redirect from Fandom links:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/10187i7/how_to_filter_out_the_fandom_wiki_in_google/

1. Install uBlock Origin extension (available for both Chrome & Firefox)
2. Click on the extension, go to Setting (or Dashboard), go to My Filters.
3. Paste in the bottom

google.*##.g:has(a[href*="pathofexile.fandom.com"])
google.*##a[href*="pathofexile.fandom.com"]:upward(1)

But for any Fandom links.

Breeze wiki is already mentioned but to automatically avoid this nonsense in the future I like libredirect.

https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension

I just browse Fandom pages using Internet Archive (or sometimes other archival sites except for Archive.Today and I won't be explaining why here)
Also Fandom has not been good in years there where controversies such as: that incident Mcdonalds paid turning the Grimace page into a ad,intrusive ads,not much protection against vandalism and so on...

Never had a problem getting on that shit site. It’s Safari ands Wipr2 on t my phone or it’s that or Firefox with uBlock Origin on the desktop.

These sites are fighting for the scraps while more and more people just ask the chatbot for the information.

Fandom.com suuuuuuuuucks

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Fandom really is the Valnet of wikis

Tvtropes has it too now.

God bless weirdgloop

I use the app Wikipanion to access fandom wilis on my phone

As someone who has used AdBlocker for as long as I can remember, I can't come up with a single reason why sites should allow it. Exact same thing with the YouTube controversy. Of course I don't like that they're trying to prevent me from blocking the ads but I sure don't blame them for it. Using an adblocker doesn't necessitate for me to come up with justifications for convincing myself that what I'm doing is actually moral because it's not. I'm perfectly capable of holding both of these two thoughts in my mind at the same time.

My test for whether behaviour is good or not is to consider what the world would be like if everyone did what I do and whether we'd all be better off for it. There one thing is for absolute certain: YouTube would not exist as a free platform. It would either not exist at all or it would be a subscription-based only.

You can have an ad-free service or you can have a free one but you can't have both and demanding that is ridiculous. Even now, the sole reason you're able to use Lemmy for free is because someone else is willing to take the financial hit by paying for the instance upkeep. We all just take it for granted.
