Anything that stops the obnoxious redirects to the App Store would be awesome. I started turning off JS on mobile today simply because most news sites I read had become unusable. This is great news and an ideal way to punish publishers that bombard my experience with giant turds. I will gladly pay for content that doesn't suck.

Except that you're going to get a lot more of them, pointing you towards native apps that serve you articles with unblockable ads.


Or you stop going to those sites. Though I don't browse on my phone so I don't have this problem.


This is the real answer to everything: if users dont like the ads, then dont go to the site.


Or, you know, they block them. Deal with it.


I really do wish that safari had a quick toggle for JS. Browsing the web on iOS is so much faster and less annoying with JS disabled, but I don't like digging through system settings to toggle it.
