Homepage is more ad than content

[jonesy497]

That's all. It's a bit ridiculous. I generally don't bother with adblockers because I know many sites make their money from ads but this takes the piss, I'll probably acquire a blocker.

Get the Brave Browser. I get one ad and it's the native Go Premium banner. I can deal/ignore that. Hah! Sorry Nexus, I'm broke.

But seriously, Brave works well for me.

I can't imagine ads bad enough to make use Brave as a regular browser.

I think rather the reason that you don't get ads is that you are now a Verified Mod Author and therefore don't get shown ads any longer.   Try logging out and see what the home page looks like then.

It was blocking before I made the advancement. I've been praising Brave for awhile now.

Same.

It does eat RAM like a 21-day Naked and Afraid survivor post-extraction but I deal with it. As long as I keep tab count reasonable, it performs well --load times are decent. I never set out to find a browser to block ads specifically on Nexus. I've was using Brave before I even came here.

Why are you guys hating on Brave? Well, mostly showler.

It frequently disables things necessary to the function of a webpage in the name of paranoia security.

Just on this forum alone the number of times a problem has been solved as soon as someone mentions "I use Brave" is staggering.

I don't hate it at all. I was simply thinking that you weren't seeing ads for reasons unrelated to which brower you use.

Fair enough. But paranoia and security have become synonymous. I suppose I could use something else and let more threats through but that really doesn't sound practical. For me, the only problem I've had so far was when I attempted to change my avatar and had the upload blocked due to canvas fingerprinting. There are some inconveniences, true. But it works for me.

Oh yeah, and yesterday with the incessant CloudFare verification requests. Thanks to the devs for dialing back security settings, by the way.

Yeah, no worries. That why I tacked on the mostly showler part. That last line was something of an afterthought right before I hit Submit Reply. Sometimes my fingers get ahead of my brain.

We are planning on reducing the number of ads on the site, by approximately 30-40% in the future (specifically the left and right tall banner ads).
