Meet Me in the Break Room - Severance Small Talk Thread

[SoMuchTV]

Didn’t find a small talk thread, so here we go…

To get us started, bringing the ad blocker talk over from the episode thread, so we don’t lose track of it.

The ads are ridiculous. They make this page on your phone unreadable and crash it constantly And none of the free blockers seem to work for me.

On my iPhone, the only ad blocker I’ve found is called literally “Adblock” and it only works with Safari. So for sites like this with obnoxious ads, I use safari.

Duck Duck Go is available in android as well as I Phone and has some good adblocking features

I used to come to this site all the time to follow and comment on many shows. Now I stop by rarely because of this. Constantly crashing, I’m lucky if I can get a comment typed out and submitted before the page goes crazy again. Can’t they do better?

Ok update, I just installed Adblock after reading someone else mention it here. It works!! Yay! Thank you!

Just wanted to add how awesome it was to hear the Cult’s “Fire Woman” at the end of this ep. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Any idea if its safe to download adblock from the app store on an iPhone? Is it adblock plus a the red one?  Too many options online . I dont want to download the wrong one.

I use the Duck Duck Go browser for this site—and this site only. It was widely recommended when the site got the new format with the insane ads breaking the functionality a couple years back, and it works perfectly. You can download from the App Store.

Yes I downloaded the Adblock Plus, it’s free for just blocking ads. It has the option to upgrade to paid if you want to block other things but I’m just doing the free for now. And apparently it just works with Safari.

Extremely grateful for this recommendation. Works so much better on this site than Safari. FWIW, I find that the DDG browser downloaded from DDG’s website works a million times better than the one downloaded from Apple’s App Store.

I’m the one who mentioned Adblock. I did get it from the Apple App Store.

The one I’m using is just “Adblock” or “Adblock for Mobile”. The icon is a stop sign with a white hand over it. I got it several years ago and it was the only one that worked for me at the time. I think there are more now, that others have mentioned here. I’ve had zero problems with it, though, so I haven’t looked for anything else. 

It does only seem to work with Safari, though, so I only use Chrome or Firefox for sites that I know don’t have uncivilized ads.
