    I opened it without adblocker:

    • 1 “ad” for AP News up top

    • 1 ad in the middle of the article

    • 1 corner video (of an AP News story)

    • 1 dismissible popup about subscribing

    • ad space below the article

    Not “the best” but also not “full of scams and ads”

      Bocky probably has some questionable extensions in their web browser feeding more ads.

      I didnt even consider the possibility that they werent using an adblocker. How does one live without it?

        Lemmy Connect uses chrome for “previews” (Open External to view in Firefox) so I did the former to see what he was talking about.

        No ads when I use Firefox, of course
