Sherdog is absolutely rife with malware and phishing attacks. What gives?

Go Platinum. it's the only real way around it.

Otherwise, uninstall Shockwave form you browser. Kind of annoying because so many other sites use it, but most of the buggy scripts on the site use the Shockwave plugin. Keep Sherdog to its own browser if you need to...it's a pain in the ass, but Sherdoggers gotta Sherdog amiright?

+1. Ads get more intense if you sign out of your account.

The mobile version is pretty bad too. Frequent slowdown with crashing and redirect hijacks,

I complained about this many moons ago...the admin mods don't get a much say in anything financial or on the developer end. They know this shit is buggier than a hooker's box, but money. Loading adware to the brim pays more than not doing it, and at the end of the day us losers will come here regardless.

lol I gave up trying to get to this site on my phone. So much shit pops on my screen doing that I am afraid my shit is going to be haxored. Ublock + adblock makes this site somewhat workable, but every other week the servers seem to take a dump and shit takes for ever to load.

My iPad works fine. Well no ads or crap. It would spin and not let me type! I almost quit coming here. Its all back to normal.

 

[Paradigm]

Sherdog?

Yes...it's the very forum you are posting on right now!

Sherdog ads force you to get ad blocker because of all the redirects and memory leaks. They make you go out of your way to install it.

This.

If they would use reputable ad networks I would happily whitelist this site, but they don't so I won't.

Stop downloading animal porn and trying to blame it on sherdog

 

[Hypetrainofthemonth]

I haven't had a problem on my phone.

 

[saugeye killah]

I use uBlock Origin adblocker on my desktop - No more ads , malware - nothing

I feel like you're missing the point. Sherdog and their affiliates are HOSTING the malware. I shouldn't need that shit to come to a message board. You only expect that shit from really shady sites. Apparently that's what sherdog has become.

youre wilin'
never have problems with SD on my phone.

then again i have a Mac

 

[KORMAN]

Yeah, this site was absolutely hideous to use a week or 2 ago. I could barely even type on this site. Everything was super slow for a few days, and it was getting annoying as hell.

 

[CatchnShoot]

Sherwood sold the site to Crave or whatever, and since then they've been trying to monetise the shit out of it.

Not that it was Utopia before, but a lot less intentionally bug ridden. Same content pretty much, but the UI is fucking hostile.

Mods dodging this thread like Bisping dodging contenders

It was so bad i had to download the adblock browser on my phone. That browser sucked so after 3 weeks i went back to the regular one and its been fine (last 3 days or so)

 

[RafaelDosSantos]

I used to have this issue as well, but then I took an arrow to the knee

 

[CerebralKnievel]

I've never had problems with my desktop, but on my phone I go through periods without problem, and then extended durations of constant malware popups. It's pretty insane, and is specific to sherdog forums.

 

[ithinktheymad]

Even with Ghostery it is often a pain in the ass. Slower than the old interface too.
