Holy cow. Trying to read an article on Vice is atrocious. I’m ok with you needing to publish ads, but when it makes the site bounce around like dog chasing squirrels, I give up.


I agree. The text jumping around and making me lose my place every 60 seconds just might motivate me to install an ad blocker.


You browse the web without an adblocker? How? On that first fresh OS install, it's always amazing how the web looks, in general, without ad blocking. And I even still see some ads!


Are you reading on a computer? I was on Firefox Focus on iPhone and it still had tons of ads mangling the page.

In the end I printed it to PDF and read that.


Firefox Reader View handles this OK. It’s the sheet of paper icon to the right of the URL.


If you want you can use Vivaldi browser on mobile as it has a built in ad blocker.


I still don't understand how anyone uses the web without an ad blocker.


Interesting story told poorly in an atrocious UI.
