Is surfing the web on a cell phone becoming an impossibility?
I spend time when out at a bar or on my porch smoking a cigar or waiting at a doctor's office surfing the web on my cell.

In the last 4-5 months it seems I can't even visit a single site or read one ****ing story that doesn't have a thousand pop ups for cookies, for contacting them via chat, for subscribing, for a coupon, ad after ad after ad either blocking the screen or story and intertwined between every God damn paragraph.

It's gotten to the point I don't even want to do anything on my phone except visit a couple of sites that I know aren't all ****ed up.

And the worst is Facebook. 1 million stories and ads to scroll through to find one post from someone you know. June 1st I am deactivating my FB account and will only check in once every six months to say hello to cousins and distant friends.

What the hell has happened to the internet???

I don’t have this issue at all, but I also don’t really “surf” the web so much as cycle through a handful of regular sites like CP and Reddit.

That's where I headed. No surfing just a few sites that I know are clean of all the shit.

Itcs not as bad on a laptop but I see some growing bullshit there too.

Fox News website is abysmal, the worst of the big media sites. I don't visit it anymore.

Doesn't sound like a normal experience. I tried Fox News and got one "try the app" thing and then going into articles I see an Amazon ad every 2 or 3 paragraphs.

If yours is significantly worse than that, either your browser sucks and you need to use a new one, or you have some kind of pop-up malware or something (and the most thorough way to fix that would be a factory reset if you have an easy way to backup/restore numbers and stuff).

Stop looking at porn on your phone.

Use the computers at the library for that.

You go to the library to throw yogurt?

There's a few lists that'll put you on...

Cell phone apps are just as bad. When I'm on my PC behind linux or even windows OS it's a very straightforward interaction. On the same businesses cell phone app it's a mess of trying to navigate through AI ads and customer service.

I'm >< close to going back to my Rugby flip phone, and buying a Android tablet for when I need access on the road.

I work from home 90% of the time since the pandemic and between phone apps and ads I just don't need the frustration.

Many of these companies make it as unpleasant as possible to use a web browser because they want you download their stupid apps instead. I prefer a web browser as well so I gravitate towards sites that don’t discourage me from doing so by intentionally sucking.

Ironically the porn sites have the LEAST amount of shit and no pop ups.

I have an LG K92 5G. It's fast and nice screen size.
