At this point, I'm not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.

Every annoying thing ever invented is embedded in every single fandom page. Ads, twitch streams, ads, personality polls, ads, content gating behind login, ads, sidebars, ads, popups, ads, "share with facebook", ads, "Tweets from thisguy", ads, "Check us out on tiktok", ads, ads, ads and some more ads...

UBlock Origin?

I use fandom for my favourite artists

I've tried. Check how large the list got before I completely blocked the domain a couple years ago. And it STILL let stuff through, as they constantly add more crud that infests the pages. The focus isn't on the content, it's on the revenue... and they push hard on the revenue. I bet every single module has an extensive list of trackers attached.

In my case, I've blocked 3rd party JS, the rest of the rules are actually to get the page working rather than blocking stuff
