  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

After spending 20 seconds closing all the popups, confirmations and ads, they still popped up and I rage quitted. Absolutely shitty website

Newsweek is a trash tabloid even without ads. Should be below us on Lemmy.

I only got a cookie pop up (though even that can be suppressed with other extension) . I had opened it on Desktop with uBlock Origin. By any chance, did you open on mobile?

Yes, the android's built in web browser that opens when you press on links inside apps. Theoretically I could have also used the "Open in Firefox", but I was too disappointed in the website to give them traffic

The built in Web browser by default is Chrome but can be configured to be anything else as well ( including Firefox if the user chooses to)

Huh, I never bothered to even check for that because I never assumed google would allow me to do that. How surprisingly nice of them (or whoever sued them like it was with MS windows). Thanks!

EDIT: Do you mean simply browser under default apps? That is already set to Firefox but that does not really change the browser that pops up inside apps.

EDIT2: Okay, I'm a moron. The browser that opens inside the apps is already Firefox, but some very light form of it since no addons or settings work there. I'm stuck with having to do 2 more clicks each time whenever I need a digital condom

I'm using AdBlock Browser which doesn't need to load an extension. Maybe something similar exists based on Gecko?
