Hot Take Why does Sherdog do everything possible to run off users?

Just put some ginger up your butt
Works every time

I am shocked people actually use this website without having popup blockers.

Never have any issues with popups but I use the Brave browser on my cell phone and I have adblock on my desktop.

If I didn't have these things, there is no chance I would come to this site.

I'd been thinking about making the mobile change to Brave. I used to be pretty unbothered by ads in my browsing, but the state of ads just get worse and worse. How's the user interface? And were you able to transfer your history/passwords/etc?

I've been using Mozilla forever across all devices, and I love having universal bookmarks, its a dream. This site runs smooth as shit, or as best you're going to get. The only streaming I do personally is through Discord for certain things, but other than that, I'm still old-school. Hard drives are cheap as shit. No internet, no problem.

I have heard good things about Brave, but have never tried it personally.

It's different, but if you are able to not allow it to bother you, it's not too bad IMO.

 

[Subline]

Who in their right mind would visit this site and decide to sign up and deal with these things, when much simpler alternatives are available?

What are the alternatives?

Lol TS has a great point. Who decided "this is fine"?

 

[Foghorn Leghorn]

On mobile? Also the adblock I am using does nothing about the human-robot check things

I don't use phone for browsing, but there are probably adblockers for mobile too.. i guess. And anti-robot thing doesn't bother me much. I mean it's only for a few seconds, so no big deal for me.

My friends, I know it sucks to have to make changes in your habits at our advanced ages, but I strongly suggest Brave browser as others have.

It works great on mobile, especially for watching mma (or whatever else) sports through dodgy websites. And dodgy sites like the Dog.

Takes care of most ads. Some will slip through from streaming sites, but very few. It's built on what makes Google Chrome, so it'll be familiar to you (albeit some buttons are in different spots).

I didn't think I'd fully adopt it. I always recommend it to friends who are looking to "watch the ufc" for big events. No going back now.

I believe you can pull in your existing passwords and such as well, though I'm not 100% on that.

The Brave broswer stops every pop up/ad. I feel for folks not knowing this.

Been using brave exclusively for years.

Recently I have run into some days sherdog not loading on brave... which blows.

Had to log in via chrome and fucking ads everywhere. Yuck

The website obviously wants to die. At what point does it become immoral to keep it going?

Brave is another version of chromium with built in ad blocking. It's good on mobile because it blocks ads where chrome does not but the main drawback when I tried it was there is no cross-platform syncing. I use Firefox too especially now that Chrome and Edge no longer support ublock origin.

It's time to pull the plug. Most of the fucks on here belong on reddit to begin with I would never post there

I seem to only get the "are you human?" box if the site has been up and inactive on my desktop for a period of time (I want to say like 20 mins of inactivity). Mobile does something similar.

I don't get ads on either desktop or mobile. Ads, in 2026? You noobs better wake the fuck up.

I only see the ads when im at work on my work computer, cause i dont put ad blockers on my work machine (i just dont care enough to)

but on my home machine, I've never ever seen an ad and I have chrome

Waking up a discussion about the pros and cons of anal ingestion of ginger was not on my things to do list.

Oh god no don't ingest it! Just insert it

Hard pass.

I'm all set.

How can you not be using uBlock Origin - boomer I guess?

Not only does it stop all ads and pop-ups on websites, but it massively reduces the chance of getting viruses as a result

Not quite boomer but I'm old. I finally installed ublock origin.

Site is more than ten times faster all of a sudden and doesn't lag or freeze anymore.

Sherdog's ad level is metastatic cancer. With tumors on the tumors.

Worst problem I've had with Brave is not being able to stream from some of the popular free stream sites or cast to my TV. I'd say it fixes about 95% of the problems most people complain about.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

I don't recall transferring anything but the majority of my browsing is done on my computer anyway. The only website I use on my phone that has login credentials that isn't an app is Sherdog. There is nothing I would have lost that I would care about. I would say just get the app and see what you can do with it before you get rid of or stop using whatever browser you're currently using. From what google says, you can transfer all that stuff from one browser over to Brave.}

It's a pretty basic interface but you don't need to get any addons or extensions for it to just block the majority of popups and ads. Once I switched over, I never looked back. Chrome and Edge just don't cut it.

Thanks guys. I've got enough ad blocking and know-how on desktop and that's almost always how I'm browsing and watching MMA, but I'm not on my computer all the time, so i have to use the devildevice. Mobile tech is just so different and seemingly trades in a lot of user customizability to just become a simplified homogenous experience, designed to be problematic.

If I'm on my phone, I'm on a browser. The less "apps" of any other product, the better. If I can reach your service via website, a browser is how I'm getting there. Hell, it's only begrudgingly that I have even my bank's app on here.

I try to do a puzzle daily that requires the keyboard, but it's on a website that has a one-minute respawn time on a bottom-page ad to continuously pop up and block the entire keyboard. I wonder who the fuck tests this kind stuff.

Yup its very frustrating, and the really weird thing for me is it only happens on my phone the "please verify you are human" thingy, but it never happened on my laptop until yesterday which was the first time on my laptop, but it happens every time on my phone. Using the exact same adblock on my phone that I have on my laptop and chrome, so its not that.
