so it turns out one reason why kissanime’s been sucking ass lately in terms of load times is cause rapidvideo literally uses your browser to mine cryptocurrency???

And that’s just like, one of the hundreds/thousands of other sketchy things the site has going on in the background by just sitting on any of its web pages without an adblocker/scriptblocker

Yo, if you wanna use KissAnime, you gotta be able to protect yourself & your computer from its shadiness. This post is discouraging, but sadly, there aren’t any less shady alternatives (aside from the legal streaming sites, of course) Anyway, if you wanna use any streaming site, you should download these Chrome extensions:

– uBlock Origin

And then you’re gonna wanna add this list to your uBlock filters…it blocks a lot of the nasty popups. 

– Kiss Essentials

Removes ads and adds functionality. Can never be too safe, right?

– Pop Up Blocker 

This extension is a lifesaver, seriously. Personally, I’ve never seen it used on Kiss, but it works a lot on other streaming sites. With uBlock, Essentials, and Pop Up Blocker, it’s very rare that I see ads. 

– Minerblocker

As the name suggests, it blocks crypto miners. I can’t vouch for its reliability yet, as it hasn’t blocked anything for me atm.

I also use a tampermonkey script to block the “Are You Human?” thing. Pretty sure it’s on the Kissanime reddit (also, if you use Kiss a lot, browse that sub even more!! It’s really useful to know what the hell is going on the site before you risk your computer). Make sure to download Malwarebytes, too! 

reblogging this again because this is a much better version than just saying “dont use kissanime”

All illegal streaming services do stuff like this, so instead of going somewhere else, learn how to protect yourself from malicious advertisements.

I use a paid version of the anti-virus program Malwarebytes and it goes CRAZY when I go to Kissanime. However, it DOES seem to block most things on that site, however, so if you don’t mind paying $50 for a year’s subscription fee, I’d highly recommend it.

Especially since, let’s face it, how many legal streaming services are likely to have black and white Japanese animated movies from the 1930s or Japanese Stop Motion animated version of Kabuki Plays on them? So where else am I suppose to go if not Kissanime? It’s all well and good to say “Use Legal Services!” but if legal services aren’t going to provide me with episodes of Megazone 23 I’m not really sure what else you expect me to do.
