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.
