  • Why are so many mods moving over to Modrinth?
    To be clear I'm not on curse's side, but pretty sure that by using FastForward extension and ublock origin you skip the 5sec wait. Works on my machine at least. But yeah, the whole site is pretty much falling apart. Source: 6 months ago

  • That’s such a trans question to ask
    UBlock Origin and FastForward bypass. With this combination, I have NEVER gotten an ad or ran into a prompt to force me to disable adblock. Source: about 1 year ago
