Too bad. I always wanted to visit the UK. Guess the obligatory rectal thermometers are "up" next.

It’s fine with Firefox Focus’ adblocking, but I’m scared to try it in another browser hahah

It's not ads, I don't get them, haven't done for years.

The page is fine on pc.

Yeeaahhh if I could bring my computers with me everywhere and they fit in my pocket and I can use them fully in my hand, I suuuure would. What a world that would be.

The page is crap on mobile browser with the same ad blocking extension as I use on pc

The page is the issue.

I was just being cheeky hahaha.

It’s not the worst mobile page I’ve ever seen, but I do very much prefer desktop sites, even on my phone.

I have always dreamed I could just take my computer with me in my pocket, though. Phones are a reasonable facsimile, but not what I envisioned as a kid.
