Most one-site apps are bad, but awful.app is good, but "use an unofficial third-party app" isn't a thing the pigman could or should be recommending, but we use it because it works.

Also, both Awful.apk and Something.apk don't have ads at all, but it seems like most goons who use android require extreme edge cases and need the browser for everything.

The bad ad problem has been resolved, therefore bad ads are not the problem. I, for one, blame mobile devices. Everyone throw away your iphones and androids, and go back to desktops as god intended.

I believe you all I think I must be incredibly boring or something, but without any URLs from the ad referrer I don't have a clue as to who to complain to.

Seriously, please - for now you can go to:

User Control Panel -> Edit Options -> Enable Mobile Layout on Mobile Devices

The annoying thing about it is that it'll do it on desktop browsers still, so you'll have to turn it back off or use uBlock Origin to block mobile.css and the mobile.js (I don't have those on hand to copy/paste or I would) and you'll get ad-free mobile browsing with your phone's web browser and no 3rd party app.

Lowtax is still working on it so it's not 100% complete, but it's still better than trying to hit tiny buttons on your phones screen regardless.

Unless you have really tiny fingers, then maybe it isn't

This is in mobile.js:

code:

function isMobile() {
    try {
        document.createEvent("TouchEvent");
        return true;
    } catch (e) {
        return false;
    }
}

This hasn't worked for a year or two. According to this site, you can replace it with this:

code:

function isMobile() {
    var touch = 'ontouchstart' in window;
    return touch?true:false;
}

I don't know if you have access to give it a shot, but it might help stop the mobile layout from showing up on desktops.
