    NexusMods has been enshittifying for a while now.

    Useless website design that only serves the purpose of making you scroll past more unwanted content, annoying ads, a “We value your privacy” popup that doesn’t value your privacy (1072 partners in the cookie popup) and the gall to ask for premium subscriptions after tracking and selling your data.

      a “We value your privacy” popup that doesn’t value your privacy (1072 partners in the cookie popup)

      You misunderstand, they value your privacy monetarily, as in invading it makes them money.

      Please don’t browse the web without ad blockers (which also block trackers and cookie banners). It’s unsafe and not good for you.

        Given Chrome’s changes, this should also read: use Firefox or a non-chromium based browser, with an ad blocker.

          This goes without saying, but yes. The ad blocker should also be uBlock Origin.

        LibreWolf + uBlock Origin here. I only got ads on NexusMods once, when I opened the wrong browser on accident.
