For context, I’m on an iPhone using Firefox. I can’t use uBlock Origin, but am ready to block on the DNS level after this.

ah yes, a $1500 phone with software that won’t allow you to do shit under the flag of security and UI.
They’re all headed that way. And Google wants to do it to PCs too.
Safari allows you to install adblockers, btw. Apple is overprotective but this isn’t really their fault.
If you are only concerned about blocking ads thats fine and good. But if your are concerned about privacy one should ditch apple devices altogether. Not to mention freedom.

How is it worse? If you use google apps it is obiously the same as using apple apps. But otherwise you can remove telemetry, use foss apps and if you are up to it patch a safey net fix to use banking apps.

A closed source OS of a company that has broken every anti-trust law, thats sells phones with no headphone jack or charger and calls it features and you tell me it does not sell data. Google and Apple are two of the same Monster. But you can not modify you Iphone whatsoever, Jailbreaking an Iphone is a pain in the ass, while in Android isnt a breeze either it is much easier. Android in it self (Android Open Source Project) kicks any iOS in the ass. The problem is that vendors put a thick layer of their version of android. If you get your hands on a phone that is compatible with Lineage Os (very close to (AOSP) you can escape Googles jail for good. And while agree with tou that Google’s Android is bad it ia certainly not any worse than iOS. Do not take my word for it, just ask any developer.

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.
I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR GRANDMOTHER IN FACT IM GLAD THE BITCH IS DEAD
-Things I never thought would cross my mind because of a cookie recipe
I low-key find it more infuriating that you’re not using an adblocker…
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.
Try pasting the link in 12 foot ladder next time. Works beautifully. https://12ft.io/
Firefox has a reader mode built in. Works in mobile too. I assume it’s very similar to this, it just cuts out an extra step.
Firefox also has ublock origin support on Android.
Recipes are a laptop endeavour.
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
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.
Yeah, that’s fine, but at some point we need to start talking about alternative methods of monetization for websites. On the one hand, compiling a list of recipies on a website and maintaining that website is not easy or cheap and the owners should be able to make money out of it. On the other hand, the user should be able to pay for this comfortably and have a nice experience on the website.
This ad model doesn’t serve any of the two, business or consumer.
There are subscription recipe sites.
Yes, but paid content is not the norm and the reason for that is that blatant advertising and shoving malaware down people’s throats on grandma’s recipe website is not only legal, it’s a predictable business model.
You’re suggesting subscriptions… On Lemmy…? Good luck lol.
The Internet was just fine before everything had to be monetised
Sure, I agree.
Unfortunately, no such solution currently exists or has been widely adopted.
Looks like a peach of an app. Nice recommendation.
You shall be blessed stranger
My recipe box is another app that does the same thing. I haven’t looked at a recipe website in ages
That’s nothing, look at this site I went to when I needed new jeans
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.
I use an iPhone and don’t see any ads and block trackers / popups. Lots of ways to block them.
Pihole has entered the chat.
This is the way
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.
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.
Nextcloud Recipes will do this as well. Both situations require that its in the page’s metadata as a schema.org/Recipe standard json.
There is no article.
Also cooked.wiki… just put it in front of the url and boom. Can save your recipes on there too👌
