Hmm, bought by the same folks who bought Tom's hardware. So does anyone else think that Purch could buy Dr Dobbs and turn themselves into the online equivalent of Byte or PC World from the 90s?
When I saw the headline I thought "Oh no, someone bought AnandTech. It is probably going to become a slow annoying popup ad site like Tom's Hardware." Now I learn that is exactly what is going to happen.
Adblock doesn't help with the layout and navigation of Tom's though, which seems to have no logical basis, unless you consider the entire goal of the site to be filtering users into ads.
Incidentally, it feels these days like half of the websites I open in TweetBot's WebView break completely, usually due to a delayed pop-up ad. It's the dumbest trend, which, at best, only works on desktop.
