A man who cleans up after plane crashes (opens in new tab)

Have to agree with you, even if it is orthogonal to the excellent content. I kept thinking that the story hadn't fully loaded, and the jankiness was a result of new assets popping in. After the fifth time of accidentally clicking on an ad and losing my place, I quit. What I had read up to that point was great though.

Just another example showing how fucked the media industry currently is, in that its executives and leaders don't actually dogfood their own product on digital. There's no way a competent editor or publisher would put up with that reading experience, if they had actually experienced it by reading the story via mobile. But because the story looks great in print, they probably don't care how it isn't on the web site.

Firefox for Android, and uBlock Origin. I used the "picker" thingy and just zapped the annoying bits.

I don't know if theirs anything equivalent for iOS.

I read it, and found it to be a very moving and well written article. One of the most emotional things that I've read in a long time.

but I had to go into a different browser because the obnoxious, intrusive advertisements were getting in the way of the content.

I'm glad I did, though. Your mileage may vary, but it was more personal for me as a paramedic that has seen the immediate aftermath of tragedies.

Not a dupe, the other one didn't garner sufficient attention.
