I disabled Brave shields to use this site and then my phone turned into an air fryer from all the bloatware it was loading. Temps went up like 20 DC.

The spite I have for fandom… is… so… intense

Numbers go brrrr

Fandom.com suuuuuuuuucks

[–] McGuirk808@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

Also, don't use Brave.

Brendan Eich is both vocally and financially opposed to LGBT+ equality. The browser has actively enabled targeted ads. They've actively promoted crypto and have been in bed with specific crypto brokers to promote its use. They've been adding their own promo codes to URLs for private benefit.

They don't give a shit about privacy. Don't touch them with a barge pole.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Brendan Eich

All of his crimes against humanity puts him in the same circle of hell as the Koch Bros and the Mercers.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I don't mean to make light of the bigotry, but the fact that that fuckwad inflicted JavaScript upon the world is reason enough to hate him and avoid his shit by itself. He has a proven track record of incompetence and terrible design decisions.

To use BreezeWiki, just replace "fandom.com" with "breezewiki.com", and you'll instantly be teleported to a better world

TIL
Neat!

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

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

aids

You know, that's not wrong...

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 5 points 1 week ago

My eyes and brain felt like me being immunosuppressed by HIV and infected by 17 different bacteria everytime i went there without ad blocker. It is a fully accurate description

[–] raman_klogius@ani.social 13 points 1 week ago

I've been there. I've watched the site enshittify right in front of my own eyes

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 57 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 55 points 1 week ago (3 children)

"our site is supported by ads"

hmmmm

"!w fandom (website)"

All that boils down to enshitification for profit.

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.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago

You can also add "anti" just in front of "fandom" in the URL, and all the nonsense get stripped out.

[–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cherry@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago

Nice. Thanks.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 24 points 1 week ago

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"

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

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

I just did and had 0 issues.

[–] ILikeTraaaains@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

The root cause is going to Fandom in first instance.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago
[–] gravitywell@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

+1

Honestly this should ship with many browsers, be a default for search engines and such.

[–] kepix@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably takes you to a bunch of ads - sucker!

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

[–] insanemantis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

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

Been doing that to skip the annoying kid/adult popup

"Please allow ads on this site"

LOL, lmao even.

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 6 points 1 week ago

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

UBlacklist FTMFW.
