    I click through or I just leave if I can’t.

    I’m sorry, but I use a network-wide ad blocker and ads are just not worth it. If I really care about the website I support it directly through donation.

      I used to hate that they had a consent option and a legitimate interest option for the same thing. It wasn’t clear what would happen if I agreed to one and not the other.

      Then they started being explicit and saying that these “partners” require consent and these others require you to object to their legitimate interest and now I hate it more because there are hundreds of these “partners”.

    I keep adblock turned off for some websites, like small creators and things like that. As long as the ads aren’t too terrible.

        Press and hold? I hadn’t thought about that idea to be honest, I’ll have to try that next time. I use Vivaldi on both Android and desktop, which is based on Chromium (the open source project base for Google Chrome).

        Edit - just tried it, didn’t work for me. It’s not an option in my menu. I’ll try and figure out the dev console on mobile and post here if I figure it out.

    I always wonder how much of the ad hell some websites have is necessary to maintain the website and pay employees a (hopefully) livable wage vs pure greed.

    One of the worst things, in my opinion, that came from the old Internet was just how shady and sometimes dangerous ads are.

    I kinda feel bad not doing it on ad supported piracy sites . But I don’t mostly because the ads and their redirects on those kinda sites tend to be abysmal .

    It’s kinda cute that they put in a link to continue without disabling. I mean, you could block it anyways or just go to another site, but still
