Got logged out a day or two ago and the wiki's articles were an ad jungle-gym that loaded terribly slow (not an Internet problem either). I'm honestly surprised so many people consider using Wikia (or they are mostly using adblock!). This was something glaringly obvious that was staring me in the face yet it took reading your post to realise.

Browsing the wikis was becoming increasingly painful with the adds being pretty intrusive and resource hungry (not entering the discussion on whether that is down to the browser, the adds, neither, both or something completely else) and my first search for a more streamlined way to browse the site led me to this thread.

I must say once you create an account and log in the experience improves considerably, at least on desktop/laptop, on Android is still a quagmire (mobile ads take obnoxious and intrusive to a whole new level.)
