          It works for me, but I recall having to use Ublock’s element zapper and custom rules to get around a lot of the shit they pull.

        Oh indeed! But websites should still be borderline functional even without adblock.

        I used fandom on my kid’s new tablet (we were looking up video game stuff) and it was unusable, no exaggeration.

        Even with uBlock Origin installed, I find Fandom to have a very high proportion of ads. For a while I tried blocking them individually through uBlock’s element zapper, but that proved a very short term solution. Too often, it worked only on that page and if I went to another entry on the same wiki, it would be loaded down with ads again. I gave up trying. uBlock is really good with ads on most sites, but Fandom has so many that uBlock can’t get rid of them all.

            It varies between browsers. On my phone (which is how I use Fandom most often - finding out information that ought to be in a game I’m currently playing), I’ve tried several different adblockers and none of them effectively de-ads Fandom. On desktop, Firefox with ublock is generally okay, but Chrome with ublock always has a couple of ads that try to sneak through.
