Think of the ad money ioi would miss.. Sure a mobile css could be written in an hour with display: none removing the most of the bulk and making it more mobile friendly (seriously I could) but then everyone would start using that version thus making less income with ads and that could jeopardise the future of this site..


Wouldn't the traffic increase help with that? Some/most adverts would remain, right?

 

I think it could still be worth at least a week long trial.

I'm with you on needing a mobile version. Site's basically useless on the default Android browser.

Get FireFox. It helps.

Yes please. A mobile app for vgchartz would make charting so much easier. I can surf the website on my phone but it is pain. So i just avoid it.

I'm not going to get a whole different clunky browser for using on one website, nor should I be expected to do so. The default Android browser is far superior to Firefox for Android, so it's absolutely ridiculous to expect someone to use it only to deal with the very few instances that it works better.

 

The only Android browser that is actually clearly better than the default is Dolphin, but its interface sucks. And once again, the Android default browser is the one that the vast majority of Android users use. That's a huge market to be ignoring.

I've been saying this for years.

Yup. It works OK with 4G on my One S but it barely loads otherwise. This site is too bloated and a less resource intensive mobile site would work fine.

On that note I think this site is kind of bloated in general...

Desktop:

Opera -> urlfilter.ini

Mobile:

Opera Mobile -> urlfilter.ini

Opera Mini

 

Done.

Its the ads that cripple the site on mobile devices, I'm sure you can figure out how to improve the performance.

Mobile friendly website is all I ask for.
A mobile app would be even better.

as of I dunno 3? days the site doesnt work with my WiiU anymore. The site is loading normally then after everything is loaded its there for 1 second and I get a grey/black screen with the VGchartz logo and the PSWii60 bars that show the sales of the consoles (the blue green red ones)
