Yea, same. Ads have gotten so obnoxious to the point where the freaking FBI considers adblock an essential part of proper internet hygiene.
And remember, if the page actually had useful content that wasn’t click bait or some shit. Be nice… remove the adblocker and reload.
They gotta pay bills too, having infrastructure deployed to serve content is not free. Don’t kill their business if they have quality content.
It’s their prerogative to refuse serving. It’s my prerogative to go somewhere else. Adblocker stays up, sorry.
And where is that somewhere else? If everyone asks to disable the adblocker, then you’re pretty much denied that info.
The first time a toxic ad shows up the ad block goes right back up though.
If it’s an understandable amount of ads, I’ll disable ad block. If the site bombards me with an unjustifiable amount of ads (like adblock-tester level of ads) then I’ll re enable adblock in seconds. Same goes for if they serve scam ads like those ‘virus detected’ or ‘hot singles in your area’ malvertisements
What? There are no horny women dying to know me?
dun dun duuuuunnnnnn Yea, there aren’t. Your life is a lie.
Adblock detection blocker!
Don’t forget the blocker for adblock detection blocker detection!
Thats called NO-Script
Just zap it with uBlock
Some websites block off completely when you use adblock.
F12
- look for the stupid anti adblock div
- delete
- if that fails, block more scripts, reload page
There we go
my process is:
- click site
- inspect element
- delete
- if that doesn’t work go elsewherei have better use of my time then visit a site like that
Anyone an Adgaurd user? My favorite is a good old pi-hole on an old Raspberry pi 3, but for software I like it.
Pi-hole on a raspberry pi w here. Love it SOO much!
If ever this happens, I think of it a challenge. Most of these are easy enough to get around.
If I can’t get around it, then I’ll bring the issue to the larger ublock origin community.
If i decide to, sometimes I’ll block the blocking elements with ublock. Sometimes it breaks the site sometimes it gets you through.
No one else here use script blocking? Great for selectively disabling external scripts, google analytics, and other trackers, for example.
JavaScript off by default ftw
The web is such a cleaner experience without it! I was using no script to just allow individual scripts for sites that I wanted to function like normal but for 90% of the web I can get by with like no JS.
It did shock me on my initial tour around Lemmy just how many sites want to have JS enabled. Fine now that I’ve got a ‘home instance’, and only have to enable that.
