    I wish there weren’t so many popup ads in that website. Trying to scroll down to the ingredient list is troublesome.

      Pihole is your friend. If you can’t run one at home for any reason, it costs about $5-$7 a month on some VPS hosts like Digital Ocean. Set it up with Wireguard and you have its capabilities everywhere you go.

        Someone: “there are too many stupid ads on the website”
        Pjhenry1216: “oh, really? You should self-host your own DNS server and/or spend money on hosting and rent a server”

        That’s like advising someone who had trouble getting newly bought furniture into their house sometimes to buy a crane.

          I’m sorry your life makes two cups of coffee a month out of your reach or that you can’t afford $15 one time payment for a raspberry pi. After graduating high school and you get a job instead of an allowance, you’ll see those are very small costs.

            Dude! I was messing with you! The cost is indeed minimal, yet the effort an knowledge to set something like this up to work flawlessly are not trivial for non techies for a thing that is easily achieved by uBlock Origin.

      If on phone, use Firefox and switch the website into reader mode. It removes all bloat and customization of websites so all you see is the photos and text. Works great for me.
