We need a browser or extension that does this stuff automatically in the browser, so it looks like a normal browser request. By "this stuff" I mean BreezeWiki, Invidious, Nitter, whatever that one for Reddit was called.
Fully in the browser is unfortunately impossible/unworkable due to CORS (basically the same technique that prevents someone from easily faking a bank login page to leak your details/allowing for XSS attacks prevents you from doing this locally). We're essentially reliant on these serverside solutions to proxy requests because that's the easiest way to do cross-origin requests without making whatever browser deity you…
Of course it's possible. CORS is a way for a browser to sandbox one site from another. When you are the browser, or an extension, you don't sandbox yourself from doing things you want to do.

#53Sorry! Fandom isn't allowing BreezeWiki to show pages right now. Looks like it just got blocked :(
My experience is sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Been this way for a few months.

It's just been revoked
Curious, what was the reasoning behind the block - or its revocation?
Shitty websites make all their money from ads. That's why the page is stuffed full of ads. If you don't see the ads, they don't make any money from you, which isn't a big deal until nobody sees the ads and the site makes no money and goes bankrupt (as they rightfully should).
And before anyone says anything about poor little indie websites needing money to survive: fandom is not one. Fandom is an advertising business. They're in the business of maximizing revenue by showing you as many ads as possible, not just a few to support their server costs, and businesses like this should be treated with extreme prejudice.

Not that it matters even if you did ... on my phone the page is overtaken by ads that open more ads and it's unusable.
Back when I had an iPhone 6, visiting Fandom sites was completely unusable because it had ads that automatically spammed the app store open. I had to be fast just to close the tab or the app store would get forced open again, regardless of whether I did anything or not. I needed the info on the wiki page I was using though, and got around the issue by disabling the app store through parental controls. Apple allowing…
Android just became mostly closed-source. It won't be long until it's the same way.

#56The minecraft wiki has moved off of fandom, fandom just overtakes it in SEO. Linking to the fandom wiki like you do on this site probably helps fandom more than you're hurting it. Just help wiki maintainers move to better platforms.
There is still some activity on the fandom wiki. So for any casual observer, it doesn't look abandoned.
NetHackWiki (somewhen around 2010 or 2012?) moved off fandom when it was still called wikia. It took several years to overtake the older wiki in search results even though the old one was completely abandoned and vandalized by humans and bots, and active engagement by users to change links to the new wiki location all over the internet.
Expect a marathon not a sprint.

The Warcraft Wiki also has the same issue: fled off of Fandom and is getting out-SEO'd by Fandom on basically all results.

#59The Path of Exile community ran far away from Fandom. Everyone should.
I've built a standalone genre-based wiki at kpopping.com, I can't believe fans let these bullshit companies run our communities. They're some of the most disgusting sociopaths imaginable. My niche is even worse though because we have websites that want to be fextralife.com when they grow up... Malware ads and porn for #1 google results with millions of views.
Re: BreezeWiki makes wiki pages on Fandom readable
#60I've been a hater of Wikia/Fandom for so long that it's been nice seeing people finally turn on them in a bigger way in the past few years. I've ran an independent wiki for a pretty long time, and it was amusing to watch the backlash grow over time, and see our humble little community get featured on Indie Wiki Buddy. The very first wiki I remember garnering a lot of backlash was the Touhou Wiki, quite a long time ag…
It's disgusting what google has done to the internet the past five years.
I built my own genre-based wiki from scratch for kpop at kpopping.com (not a mediawiki) and my niche has been completely destroyed by google. They've promoted sites that leak nudes of minors and put porn ads on their wordpresses masquerading as wikis to first positions. Fandom would be an improvement for my niche.
Alas we are fooked.
