Reading HF on mobile (nightmare)(amazon ad)

[Vancouver Canucks]

It shuts down randomly on an Android, too.

Why

 

[Hobnobs]

Add to that the constant frigging reminder about notifications... Why are they even "highly recommending" it? Ugh.. this is both android and pc tho...

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Ads are both now blocking where you can/have to sometimes click on the upper and bottom parts of the page again.

For me since latest update the constant refreshing has gotten much better

But WOW the ads.. top AND bottom what is that ? Ive seen illegal stream website with less annoying ads

With the tiny « x » and they come back like 1 minut later.. what the hell is that

Absolute joke.

The site looked so awesome on a Blackberry years ago.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Now I keep getting “there was a problem with this page so it’s been refreshed” messages and the page will refresh by itself.

This place f***ing sucks.

I use this site like once a week now because of how awful it is on mobile. Those ads are meaningless when you're driving people away.

Is anyone getting an amazon ad with no way to close it every 30 seconds while trying to scroll on mobile ? Insane stuff

UBlock Origin, my guy. It's just one of many ways to navigate the HF ads minefield.

Keep getting hit with this spam Amazon ad. Website is literally unusable.

iOS desperately needs to allow ublock extension

At the same time Hf asks you to not use adblocker but they serve us some of the most annoying and intrusive ads.

Please have admins try to go around this website on a mobile without an ad blocker and see how its such an insanely bad customer experience.

Sometimes you get top and bottom ads where you feel like your driving in a winterstorm and can only see through a tiny part of your windshield..christ

 

[Jetcetera]

Came here to post about thus fake Amazon scam ad as well. It's not a good look

 

[Jovavic]

Started using Firefox for this site, works better than Chrome

 

[Moose Head]

I was reading the ‘Is Slafkovsky the worst #1 pick’ thread when the fake Amazon ad popped up. The ad for once served a useful purpose.

 

[EK65IsAGod]

Yup, website is unusable on iOS. Load a page, 5 seconds go by, amazon pop up ad.

On the bright side I've won a bunch of le Creuset and Hexclad sets.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Brave browser. PC or Mobil.

Zero ads.

 

[John Price]

ads?

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

This place sucks on mobile

 

[TOGuy14]

Is there an admin we can tag or message about this? The ads are so intrusive I actually stopped using the site on mobile at this point (and I can only assume my uBlock Origin is holding back a world of eyeball cancer on my desktop)....

Stop using Chrome. Use Brave.

 

[jiboy]

Stop using Chrome. Use Brave.

Using the website on mobile is a very bad experience and likely going to stop users from coming back.

If we have to use a special browser maybe something isnt right or at least there should be a note « we recommend using x browser for a more fluid experience »

There's nothing special about it other than it has built-in privacy settings which includes blocking trackers and ads, including pop-ups. Chrome sucks. Brave is actually a chrome based browser. It just does it better.

It works great with YouTube too.
