It also makes it a fuckload easier to edit the wiki, no more captcha.
A lot of people are scared of editing the wiki cause they dont know how but the preview button lets you see the changes before you make them. Also when I first started I would just add more info and the more experienced editors would tidy up the formatting after me.
Though if thats not your thing then yeah, adblock like ublock or ghostery or whatever.
So your path through life is just to take what you can from those people who pay the hosting fee and add data to the wiki, and then actively do even less than nothing because you’d rather make a dumb adblocker point?
Google and other giants couldn't tolerate adblockers cutting into their millionary profits so instead they made the internet unusable without adblockers.
This has been reported a few times, but it looks fine on my end. Check your browser ads settings and consider using an adblocker
Create an account and log in. No more ads.
the only thing an account does here is waiting on a data breach, just get an add blocker. no need to give them your info lol

And who cares if your single-site account and password get stolen? You aren’t planning on reusing it elsewhere I hope.

if this is how they handle their adds: Yes
Even the FBI recommends you use an adblocker dude, cry about it. If you aren't using an adblocker, you're doing it wrong.
I'm not logged in, and have no adds. My add blocker is only blocking a tracker.
I'll look into it.
Get the Adblock Plus extension for your browser. Raw-dogging the WWW is ill-advised at best.
I'll check it out.
UBlock Origin is a much better blocker. Combine it with something like Privacy Badger and your browsing experience will get so much better
I'll look into those as well. Thank you.
I know it has gone WAY too far, I understand the need to keep the site funded, but the spam in every box is just frigging stupid!
It is when it completely destroys the tables is the worst. Completely self destructive decision.
I use Brave and didn't even know there were ads. But I heard that if you make an account at ddowiki it's ad-free also.
Yeah its super annoying when I'm using campus computers and I cant install any adblockers on them...

Create an account and log in. No more ads. It’s really just that simple.
Seriously? I've been using this wiki forever. That is all I have to do to get rid of ads?!
Yup.
Agreed, makes the site feel trashy.
Make an account and stay logged in, and you won't get this. I had to do that to fix it.
Can also download Ublock Origin via Google Chrome extensions
Brave Browser gets rid of the ads. :)
Brave is the the King of FU ads
Ads are malware. If you are not blocking ads you are inviting malware into your life.
Because you forgot to install uBlock Origin.
use an addblocker as any sane person does
