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.

    This goes beyond “mildly” for me. These websites are completely unusable. They’re not winning either, because other spam sites will just copy the text of their recipes and get listed higher in search results because the scam pages are faster to load.

    This is also why you every browser needs access to ad blockers. I had to double check that I found the right recipe with how cruftless the website becomes once you get rid of the ads.

    Every little ad on that page could be trying to exploit your phone and hack you. That’s why American government services use ad blockers, and yet another reason why you should as well.
