    Oh, it was annoying me recently, so I turned off JavaScript, and it’s great again.
    I’m very glad, that people finally call those sites on their bullshit, and hopefully reclaim the internet.

    EDIT: removed stray ‘with’

      I would love to figure out how to disable it on mobile. Does anyone know how?

        Firefox on mobile allows for addons, so you can install ublock origin and disable it from there, but I’m sure there are other addons that would allow that.

            No idea. Knowing apple, probably not, but you’d have to check yourself.
