FireFox
I know that mastodon works differently but I find those hash tags irritating. Not your fault but maybe we need to figure out a way to make them less annoying.
I find it unsustainable to run that in the long term. As a compromise on Firefox Android, I enable NoScript, then go into the settings and enable “Temporarily set top level domains to TRUSTED”. This will basically restrict to just the essential first party JavaScript files from the website itself to run. It makes like 90% of sites functional while still severely nerfing all that junk that JavaScript puts in your browser.
You could also use uBlock Origin to block 3rd party stuff in general. Be it scripts, fonts or whatever else, I only see what the site itself has to offer, and 99.9% of the time the 3rd party contents are – to no ones surprise – completely unnecessary
I already use this as well, with every non-language filters enabled.
Great tool, isn’t it. I try not to think about how using the internet would be without it. Rather keep my sanity
@moon that’s a great solution! thank you! I’m going to try it on desktop too! 🙌
FWIW I have been running with a whitelist for about 15 years. Kind of a calm feeling to enter a new site every couple of weeks and ignore the busy scripts by default. To each their own.
