For context, I’m on an iPhone using Firefox. I can’t use uBlock Origin, but am ready to block on the DNS level after this.
Use justtherecipe.com - it will not only cut ads, but also the sob story about the writer’s grandmother and how they kept this thing a family secret for exactly 137 years until now.
I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR GRANDMOTHER IN FACT IM GLAD THE BITCH IS DEAD
-Things I never thought would cross my mind because of a cookie recipe
Not using adblock is like not having a spam email folder.
Recipes are a laptop endeavour.
I low-key find it more infuriating that you’re not using an adblocker…
Try pasting the link in 12 foot ladder next time. Works beautifully. https://12ft.io/
I use an app called Recipe Keeper. It’s amazing because I just share the page to the app, it extracts the recipe without any nonsense, and now I have a copy for later if I want to reuse it. I literally never bother scrolling recipe pages because of how terrible they all are, and I decide in the app if the recipe is one I want to keep.
It also bypasses paywalls and registration requirements for many sites because the recipe data is still on the page for crawlers even if it’s not rendered for a normal visitor.
Yeah, that’s fine, but at some point we need to start talking about alternative methods of monetization for websites. On the one hand, compiling a list of recipies on a website and maintaining that website is not easy or cheap and the owners should be able to make money out of it. On the other hand, the user should be able to pay for this comfortably and have a nice experience on the website.
This ad model doesn’t serve any of the two, business or consumer.
There are subscription recipe sites.
Yes, but paid content is not the norm and the reason for that is that blatant advertising and shoving malaware down people’s throats on grandma’s recipe website is not only legal, it’s a predictable business model.
You’re suggesting subscriptions… On Lemmy…? Good luck lol.
The Internet was just fine before everything had to be monetised
Sure, I agree.
Unfortunately, no such solution currently exists or has been widely adopted.
My recipe box is another app that does the same thing. I haven’t looked at a recipe website in ages
Looks like a peach of an app. Nice recommendation.
You shall be blessed stranger

This is the way

I loaded up a download page on a work computer recently, forgetting it didn’t have adblock. My god the amount of ads was insane. There were literally about 20 ads surrounding the content with varying styles and I could actually not figure out at a glance what was the main content. I don’t understand how anyone uses the internet raw anymore.
The other day sometime similar happened to me. I mean I was used to that sort of crap on some dubious downloads, but most recently it was a pretty reputable software from it’s actual reputable site, and there were like a half dozen “DOWNLOAD” buttons in boxes and arrows and like a tiny actual download link. Made me research whether that site has been hijacked since I had last used it, and folks were saying it just went that way. Still very reluctant to grab it on any system I vaguely care about or keep anything remotely sensitive, since indulging in those sorts of ads destroys any twist I might have had.
That’s nothing, look at this site I went to when I needed new jeans
I want a browser extension where I can press the “never again” button and all links to that domain will be marked. Then I know never to click to that search result or shared link.
I’ve sort of done this manually for things like Twitter with some userStyles, but it is annoying to update and haven’t configured it on mobile. Kagi site-blocking is also great but only works from search results.
In Kagi, you can prioritize results from domains you trust and deprioritize or hide results from domains you don’t like.
Unlock origin has the block functionality where you can mark sites with a warning before entering, Unfortunately that “one button” part doesn’t exist yet to my knowledge (leechblock might do it but I don’t know)
Yeah. It kinda works but I’ve already been bothered by clicking in the link. I just want to highlight the link so that I can avoid it completely.
In the address bar of the Firefox app there’s a little icon that looks like a page with some lines on it. Tap that on any page to go to reader mode. Gets rid of most of this junk with a single tap.
Ad"Choices"…ugh, get stuffed.
Does Firefox on iPhone not allow/have extensions?
Unfortunately, no. From what I gather, any other browser on an iPhone is just Safari with a different skin.
Not only a different skin, a kneecapped version of Safari that doesn’t have the root level access to Javascript performance boosts that Safari proper does.
1Blocker for the win slightly. It can do an device-local loopback adblock VPN. Until Apple says no.
Second this, works a treat.
There is no article.
