Mixdrop is the worst...

[AshramAscendant]

I use add and pop-up blockers and Mixdrop still does both.
If I have to download anything using them I have to be prepared to: click download, close pop-up/new tab, click download, close pop-up/new tab, rinse and repeat until it finally decides I have suffered enough and will download the file.
This is a shit experience.
I know F95 doesn't control that site, but we could just choose not to use them.

Funny, none of that happens to me when i try using them, i just click the button and the download starts.
What ad-blocker you say you use?

I don't seem to have problems with AdBlock on chrome.

I use AdBlocker Ultimate on Firefox and haven't had issues with it anywhere else.
I am happy for those of you who don't have to endure that particular hell.

Install uBlock Origin and remove all other stuff like ultimate and pop-up blockers.
Origin is all you need when it comes down to blocking unwanted crap, has very extensive constantly updated filter lists.

Ublock Origin and Pi-hole if you can get your hands on a RaspberryPi (should work on any model).

I agree about the pop-ups. It's crap.

Mixdrop does give decent speeds though, most of the time.

I do believe that Mixdrop is shit yes, but not because of this. For me, it's because there's a captcha when I try to use it with JDownloader, and only in this case.

Use brave browser, it blocks all pop-ups from most sites and use one of the other links given to download, most game threads have 2 or 3 links at least.

I have the same problem, but it's more than popups. My virus checker keeps blocking it for various things, usually Trojans and Phishing.
