    I don’t even need to worry about the tracking at fandom because they do that stupid “auto play an unrelated video at the top of the screen and once you scroll past it it moves down and perpetually stays on the screen, taking up 30-50% of your mobile screen” so I will always immediately close the page once I see that fucking bullshit

    Truly hostile ui design. Just open disdain for their users. At least it’s muted by default

      If you replace fandom.com with breezewiki.com in the URL, you’ll either get an unfucked version of the page, or you’ll get a redirect to a new wiki site that the fandom actually updates. It’s crazy how fandom doesn’t let communities remove a fandom site, so there are all of these unmaintained and out of date fandom wikis out there.

        Nice, this is helpful. Fandom always popup as the first result.

      EDIT: as a demonstration, here’s what happens when you use breezewiki with the Noita fandom page: https://noita.breezewiki.com/wiki/Noita_Wiki

      Incredibly hostile design. I generally avoid, but like Reddit they have hostage to some info I desire sometime so wipe my way through it… Close the browser, rm -rf /, and wash my hands.
