I just want to view the recipe

Try https://www.justtherecipe.com/

ah yes, a $1500 phone with software that won't allow you to do shit under the flag of security and UI.

Use justtherecipe.com - it will not only cut ads, but also the sob story about the writer's grandmother and how they kept this thing a family secret for exactly 137 years until now.

we've long transcended beyond User Experience and into Advertiser Experience

I legitimately thought this was satire

Are things really this bad without an ad blocker these days?

Not using adblock is like not having a spam email folder.

I low-key find it more infuriating that you're not using an adblocker...

Recipes are a laptop endeavour.

Edit: this is what it looks like with adblocker on. iPad mini 5 with LockDown app, and raspberry pi running pihole.

If ads annoy you as much as they annoy me, get an adblocker. But if there are sites that you use regularly, and block ads on, you might consider contributing to their patreon or whatever.

I recently switched from iPhone to Android, and let me tell you it is ridiculous how much more control you have over your user experience. Adblock alone made it worthwhile.

Anyway, on iPhone i used to use reader mode to filter all that crap. Though some asshole sites block the function

Try pasting the link in 12 foot ladder next time. Works beautifully. https://12ft.io/

I use an app called Recipe Keeper. It's amazing because I just share the page to the app, it extracts the recipe without any nonsense, and now I have a copy for later if I want to reuse it. I literally never bother scrolling recipe pages because of how terrible they all are, and I decide in the app if the recipe is one I want to keep.

It also bypasses paywalls and registration requirements for many sites because the recipe data is still on the page for crawlers even if it's not rendered for a normal visitor.

Pihole has entered the chat.

That's nothing, look at this site I went to when I needed new jeans

I want a browser extension where I can press the "never again" button and all links to that domain will be marked. Then I know never to click to that search result or shared link.

I've sort of done this manually for things like Twitter with some userStyles, but it is annoying to update and haven't configured it on mobile. Kagi site-blocking is also great but only works from search results.

In the address bar of the Firefox app there’s a little icon that looks like a page with some lines on it. Tap that on any page to go to reader mode. Gets rid of most of this junk with a single tap.

I loaded up a download page on a work computer recently, forgetting it didn't have adblock. My god the amount of ads was insane. There were literally about 20 ads surrounding the content with varying styles and I could actually not figure out at a glance what was the main content. I don't understand how anyone uses the internet raw anymore.

This is actually one of the biggest reasons why I prefer Android over iOS. In the case where I am forced to use iOS, I use Brave because it comes with an adblocker. Not perfect, but it's the best of a crappy situation.

Does Firefox on iPhone not allow/have extensions?

Ad"Choices"...ugh, get stuffed.

Also cooked.wiki.. just put it in front of the url and boom. Can save your recipes on there too👌

Reader mode in browsers is great for this situation. Firefox has one for both desktop and mobile. I think brave does too

Sometimes recipe sites will have a "Print Recipe" button that gets rid of all that junk.

CopyMeThat https://apps.apple.com/us/app/copy-me-that-recipe-manager/id956800243 is great. Give it the url, it extracts the recipe. It not only gets rid of the ads, but also the obligatory family history of how the recipe was brought by Nana from the old country, followed by a tedious retelling of a touching story about her. And optionally saves it to your account so you always have it. And there’s web access so you can use anywhere it and a safari extension on the Mac.

If you’re on an iphone you should be able to access reader mode or view. It bypasses JS and lets you view basic text and images.

Reminds me of this scenes from Ready Player One. Except, we don't have Holiday's ad restrictions.

I recently setup a pi hole, can't believe I didn't do it sooner

The ingredient is an adblock like Ublock, bur some browsers have native adblocker or privacy settings that are enought for that. Recipe Sites are notoriously terrible.

Use reader mode

The mobile web is so bad these days, and it's as if every single page is like this now. It almost feels like the advertisers are just memeing on us now. They could sneak an "& Knuckles" on the page somewhere and I probably wouldn't notice.

https://recipekeeperonline.com/

I use this to copypasta a recipe URL and get a clean version to look at.

I like it, but I'm sure there's fair criticism.

Just use adguard dns. Problem solved!

Recipe websites are something else, eh?

Most have a 20 page story until you get to the actual recipe. Like, I don't give a damn about your life story, I just want to bake some muffins. 😂

OP, of you have a "Reading mode" on your phone's browser, it'll cut out a lot of extras and just give you the text.

You making bread? Sourdough bread is the best!

Try AdGuard and Safari.

What’s the URL for this website? I want to test my pi-hole and see if stops those garbage ads from appearing.

Blame Apple and its closed ecosystem. Fossdroid the only way these days

Does Firefox on iphone have reader view?

You can block all these ads just with Safari or Firefox without uBlock Origin. I haven’t seen an ad on my iPhone in like a decade.

I have ublock on Firefox on android and also have dns dns.adguard.com

Works great. In the past 3 years I have had to disable the dns once where functionality of a site didn't work due to it.

Is Fennec not available for iOS, or the extension support is the problem? This is what I see, with ublock in Fennec and pihole on my router: https://ibb.co/wSYnsM0

Ads, glorious ads

We’re anxious to minimize

Three ads per tab, lest my performance capsize

I love Firefox, it is my desktop and android go to, but fuck apples bullshit.

Look into Orion browser, it allows you to use chrome and Firefox extensions on iOS, it does mean no easy bookmark or tab sharing, but small price to pay to be able to use the net again properly.

I use ChatGPT for recipes. You can ask for "simple sourdough recipe for 1kg bread" and you get the same AI generated stuff with just the recipe.

yall are getting recipes from articles?

Lemmy collectively finding out about SEO is so fucking funny

I think you will find that changing your brakes is a lot more productive than making some gross sourdough bread 🍞
