    Just an aside, that site (PC Gamer) is almost unreadable with the interstitial videos, popups, etc. I haven’t read anything there in a while, and I can’t say I’m eager to go back.

      For the love of god use a decent adblocker.

      Fuck sites who do all that, but save yourself from irritation by using a decent adblocker.

      Install and adblocker and then you can read the handful of paragraphs of actual content they posted. Also, get an auto reader mode extension. Unless you are really into all the distractions on page, that will help with sketchy gaming sites.

        That was WITH uBlock Origin enabled. I can only imagine what a hellscape that site is without it. But uBlock doesn’t block in-line images or inserts, and there were more of those than actual content of the article.
