Fred, just wanted to tell you that the ads on the mobile app are so invasive that they had me uninstall it.
While you're reading an article you get a full page ad without a way to close it and go back. So annoying!!

In term of intrusive ads Electrek is still fine. Insideevs is much worse. Though in last years we are experiencing ad avalanche everywhere in catastrophic proportions. Would be fine to run few witch trials on masterminds behind this ad catastrophe with public hangings on lamp poles.

I don't know about other sites/apps but to me a full page ad without closing cross is NOT fine.

Full page ads in Electrek doesn't happen for me. Maybe you messed something with your phone browser settings or caught a virus? At least in mobile Chrome browser I didn't seen nothing like that here. And uBlock Origin in desktop browsers do crap suppression thing just great.

If you have nothing to say, just don’t say anything.
I’m not alone here and I don’t mess up phones, I know what I do.

I'd like to find the programmer who first thought of relocating that annoying video in a pop up window at the side after you've scrolled past it
.

As a fellow programmer, it's sometimes the business/marketing department who come up with the idea and we are told to implement it.

Yeah, that's what they said at Nuremburg...

I'm fine with ads, even personalized ads, in general, but any A/V ad on a text size really gets me. Or the ones that repopulate every time you scroll, those are garbage, too.
And how many effin' ads do you need on one page?!?! This is where you need a little regulation to limit the number of ads. Fewer ads, more $$ per ad, everyone wins (except ads).

That's why they pay trolls to wind people up so they get more clicks perpage.

That must be a fun job

You can always glitch it, believe me.

If history is any guide, the ones on trial will someday be anyone caught using an ad blocker.

This website works fine on phones, I don't know why they even have an app.

Switch to the Brave browser, available for PC, iPhone and Android. It's basically the Chromium browser without all the Google cr*p, and with a ton of blocking and non-tracking switched on by default. They try to make money by attempting to sell you cyber currencies but that is very easily turned off.
A certain British newspaper that I like to read is unusable in Chrome, very few ads or popups in Brave.

I recommend FireFox over Brave, no scam selling.

I just use the mobile website. Other than the full screen ads, does the app bring any features the website doesn't already have? An app for a blog seems pretty pointless, but maybe I'm missing something.

The reason for any "newssite" to have an app is exactly one. To make it harder to avoid ads. Most browsers have excellent ad-blockers available.

It’s handy for the real-time notifications of new articles.

Oh gross. I wouldn't want that. But HTML5 does let websites send notifications and all major browsers on desktop and mobile have support for it. Electrek should add that to their website and then they wouldn't need to pay mobile app developers.

Your mobile browser may be blocking ads ?

I use Firefox + uBlock on Android, so yes. But Darlo was complaining about an Electrek app and I'm interested in more info.

Someone uses a mobile browser and doesn't block ads?
How can you even use something like that?

There is a Android app call ad locker. This app is a browser that loads and removed alot of ads as well as most pop ups etc.

At home, your pc can be set up to do the same.

Electrek app on iOS? Right now I'm having exact same ad experience on the app like Chrome.

Didn't even know there's an app ;)

Yes. I don’t know if it’s relevant, but I’m located in Europe.

OK sorry, but I'm not capable of replicating it. Going to send your report up the chain and see what they can do.

I have a screen recording that could help the investigation, if you tell me how to send it over.

Nobody’s interested apparently.

In order to get people to pay attention, they should use the "turn steering wheel" prompt but alternate it randomly left and right. Maybe even have a "tug twice" or "tug 3 times" prompt. That way it's harder to fool with an orange.

Or offer a refund on 'enhanced autopilot' trade for supercharging credits. See what happens.

So driving your car would be like playing Dragon's Lair.

See onlineslangdictionary for "tug"

Disable Javascript. Sorry, you're talking about the App. As suggested below, use the web site.

To fix the app, don't use the app. That's pretty funny.

I run a whole house ad-blocker. Kills most of this crap.

If publishers were less intrusive with their advertising, it wouldn’t be necessary to use an adblocker.

I don't see a single ad. Is there something I know that you don't?

You tell me. I run the app on iOS and it’s unusable because of the ads. I can barely read, the. 10 sec later a full page ad appears and i can’t even go back.
All the solutions posted by other members spoke of adblockers that are not applicable in my case.

Ah. That must be it.

I'd uninstall the app too, except that it's handy for unlocking the car and opening the trunk.

I'm pretty sure he is referencing the electrek app (if it exist) and not the Tesla app. The 9to5mac is very invasive as well.

Yes. I’m talking about the Electrek app. Here people comment without even reading.

Install Adguard. Life changing.
