Indeed much better resource than this ads ridden page…


Have u tried it with mobile safari on arbitrary iOS?


Say goodbye to most ads with Brave or Vivaldi, with adblockers enabled (EasyList, EasyPrivacy, ADB+, Fanboy's Annoyances List).

I prefer viewing the text-only version of this HN site, it loads fast and clean with no ads: https://news.ycombinator.com/


That really reads like an ad.


It is true though.

Except Chrome, other Chromium browsers have effective filters/blockers for ads and annoyances. I find Brave's GUI to be very intuitive and fast, and one can disable its crypto features and other nonsense.

But in past year, I've noticed Brave is broken on popular sites like Reddit, so I have recently switched ditches it and switched over to Vivaldi.

Vivaldi is fast and nice, with a clean interface, though it is slower in its Windows variant as it has lots of features compared to other Chromium browsers.

I have Firefox as secondary browser, I especially like its extensions support: uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger are great at adblocking and annoyances filtering. But Firefox is a bit cumbersome in its UI, and I felt it is slower especially in its Windows variant

Firefox had some memory leakage problem, so I had avoided it for years, but it's become better in its latest versions, I don't seem to encounter the memory leakage issue anymore.

I steer clear of Chrome (disabled it on all my phones and tablets) due to Google's penchant for ads-based revenue, though its corporate avatar as Microsoft Edge is quite efficient and effective as a daily workhorse.


You realise the vast majority of people seeing your comment are on news.ycombinator.com and have no idea what you're talking about?


The parent comment mentioned ads, hence my response and the link to the text-only site.


They said the links provided by their parent were better than 'this' page, which presumably refers to the submission, not (some undisclosed alternate ad-ridden frontend to) HN.
