Minecraft Wiki moves away from Fandom
After several discussions, we are excited to announce that the Minecraft Wiki has now moved from Fandom to minecraft.wiki – all of the information about the game can now be found at the new location!

Fandom is 95% popups at this point.
Ublock?
It looks pretty bad even with an adblocker on now too
It works for me, but I recall having to use Ublock's element zapper and custom rules to get around a lot of the shit they pull.
In what way? The sidebar is possibly the only thing I can think of.
Oh indeed! But websites should still be borderline functional even without adblock.
I used fandom on my kid's new tablet (we were looking up video game stuff) and it was unusable, no exaggeration.
Use an adblocker (uBlock Origin)
Even with uBlock Origin installed, I find Fandom to have a very high proportion of ads. For a while I tried blocking them individually through uBlock's element zapper, but that proved a very short term solution. Too often, it worked only on that page and if I went to another entry on the same wiki, it would be loaded down with ads again. I gave up trying. uBlock is really good with ads on most sites, but Fandom has so many that uBlock can't get rid of them all.
Really? I don't see any ads at all on Fandom with ublock. Perhaps check if it's setup right.
It varies between browsers. On my phone (which is how I use Fandom most often - finding out information that ought to be in a game I'm currently playing), I've tried several different adblockers and none of them effectively de-ads Fandom. On desktop, Firefox with ublock is generally okay, but Chrome with ublock always has a couple of ads that try to sneak through.
