These websites use clickstealing malware ads. Use Ublock origin.

But are you using uBlock origin? Try it on mobile

[–] admin@lemmy.today 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I am using a stock tor browser from playstore.

Confirmed issue, just gave it a test.

Adding the uBlock Origin extension to Tor Browser will resolve it and make the links proper again.

Heh... what do you know......

It's working fine here. Are you sure you didn't get a fake version of the site?

It is the correct URL, but 1337x is filled with ads. It is recommended to use an ad blocker or something like Jackett, or you can use Startpage's 'Visit in Anonymous View' feature.

There is a trick! You first need to left click the magnet link, this will bring a modal vpn ad with (iirc) a "continue without vpn" button. That button is the actual magnet link

Lol I was wondering whether there was an actual intended way through. It still deters new users way too much though. What are they thinking

[–] Zos_Kia@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 10 hours ago

Yeah it's pretty shit. My guess is torrent sites lost a ton of traffic from API users (stremio, kodi etc...) so they have to squeeze harder on those remaining page views.
