Does anyone else who browses BuzzJack on a phone or tablet have content blockers enabled when browsing? I have been using Adblock Pro for years now but it’s come to my attention that recently they have stopped websites from displaying certain things, especially social links and sharing features on most websites. It was never the case before but it seems to be now. I wondered if anyone uses this or any other content blocker to minimise the amount of ads that BuzzJack displays by default, and if this affects the performance of the rest of the site for you. I still get notifications on the forum when a PM is received, but I’ve managed to avoid any other popups or Google ads on BuzzJack for some years now thanks to this blocker, but now it blocks other content that I actually want to see including Instagram & Twitter/X embeds in posts.

I'd recommend switching to uBlock Origin (which I've found to work better anyway).

Thanks Bré, I didn’t see this in time, so I’ve opted to switch to one called 1Blocker. Hopefully it will be more in tune to forum coding and scripts.
