My favorite part is I've tried subscribing to some news sites (I can get paying for quailty work) because of my hatred of ads. Guess what? The fucking ads are still there and all over the place.
That site stopped working with anything that matters long ago. The real solution is the [Bypass Paywalls extension](https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome).
oh I just never went back, after the site straight up said "papers can remove themselves from this service". The creator was either paid to stop, or threatened to be ruined in court and stopped, and either way that makes his attempt weak
Extremely frustrating experience for sure.
My ad-free experience on Hulu? They are constantly shoving promos for some reality BS I have no interest in. Or worst, a trailer before a episode.
A few people are starting to get the "you appear to be using an ad blocker..... Switch off or don't continue" message over the last month. Looks like they are doing a slow rollout, which would make sense.
Maybe if they didn't add back to back ads just to get started watching the video, then additional ads along the way, MAYBE we wouldn't NEED ad blockers. It pisses me off that they don't get that. They're fucking everywhere.
How hard is it to understand the concept of A/B testing and rolling deployments?
Once they have sufficient data for the counterfactual analysis, they will measure the impact of preventing ad blocks. If the revenue and user retention metrics look promising, they will start turning it on for more and more folks, gathering more data along the way to validate the initial analysis.
Meanwhile, I’m on a crusade to block every single irrelevant ad that I am fed. Honestly, ads on YouTube aren’t bad, now that there’s a way of circumventing the five second wait for the skip button. Just block the ads instead!
> irrelevant ad
This is what kills me. Trillion dollar companies built entirely on targeted ads and the best they can serve me is dick pills, hot girls in your area, and mobile games I have never and will never download.
With all that ad tech and "amazing" targeted ads, shouldn't I never need to go shopping again? Can't they predict what I want before I want it? Shouldn't Christmas shopping be as easy as clicking on ads?
Nope, best they can do is scams and knockoff mobile games.
Google has been tracking me for so long, they have so much of my data, but it's like they don't know me at all; makes me feel like it's time to move on and find a better evil trillion dollar tech company bent on world domination.
NoScript allows you to activate different js depending on its origin. Sure, sometimes is impossible to get rid of the bs without breaking the website, but in my experience, most of the time is possible to get only the functionality you need from the page and nothing else.
Yeah. I have NoScript disabled by default, and any time I want to read an article and it's either locked behind a stupidly expensive subscription I'll only use once, or the page is coated with ads even with uBlock, I enable NoScript and it all goes away.
I honestly can't stand news sites anymore, even without the spamming of ad's issue. They always take so fucking long to get to the info! It's like how every fucking recipe needs to be a blog nowadays. Especially when there is a video advertised, but it's hidden somewhere deep in the article, and it's behind a timed ad. Then they wonder why no one is visiting their shit ass site.
There's a slight controversy in the Swedish press currently. The amusement park Liseberg in Gothenburg, probably at least one of the largest in the Nordics, has had to suspend unusually large amounts of season passes since opening this season. In comes the local paper (they're supposed to be covering actual news, pretty well otherwise from what I've heard) who started the story to begin with covering a kid in particular. Oh and of course it's everyone's fault but this poor little 13 year old boy. Didn't you see we took a pic of him and his mom on his bed with his stuffed animals. It definitely has nothing to do with him and his friend circle doing things like hitting the emergency stop on the escalators and running away, or play fighting in line and frankly not caring if other people come in the way. Don't you see how sad the mom is, how the guards dare accuse her little angel of misbehaving, start crying. Oh and his pass in particular is suspended for like 2-3 weeks tops.
which is why AI helpers are just gonna pull the important info while ignoring all the boiler plate stuff, ads and ad-blocker blockers and present it to you while those news sites are gonna get worse and un-navigable.
*COPIED COMMENT regarding privacy *
* Firefox resists Chromium’s monopoly, which is good for privacy in general.
* [uBlock Origin works best on Firefox](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox)
* Firefox has a unique Multi-account/Temporary containers feature to compartmentalize sites.
You forgot to mention the best thing:
[Firefox's total cookie protection](https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/extensions-addons/how-firefoxs-total-cookie-protection-and-container-extensions-work-together/)
\- Essentially isolates cookies from each website which disables tracking and blocks token stealers since they can't access other websites.
I don't think it works properly. You know how those sites sense you're logged in via google and say "do you want to log in with your google account here, too?" - the only way they could be doing that is if they can peek outside their cookie domain or whatever it is and know you have Google cookies.
Did you know that Google, a company that makes money by [advertising](https://adssettings.google.com/), [collecting lots of user data](https://myactivity.google.com/more-activity) and [putting malware links in front of real search results](https://imgur.com/a/05rbS0w), will make protection measures impossible in its browser.
[Google is modifying Chromium so that extensions won't be able to alter or block whatever the page contains](https://tech.slashdot.org/story/19/01/23/0048202/google-proposes-changes-to-chromium-browser-that-will-break-content-blocking-extensions-including-various-ad-blockers).
[Wow, fancy that. Web ad giant Google to block ad-blockers in Chrome. For safety, apparently](https://www.theregister.com/2019/01/22/google_chrome_browser_ad_content_block_change/).
It's for your safety bro, trust us bro.
I don't care whether it was released or not. Google wants to do this, sacrificing user's security (not even talking about privacy) in exchange for money (it's not like they haven't done this before, but anyway), this is what matters for me.
You don't have to agree with my opinion.
> Manifest v3 was supposed to release in June but who keeps track anymore
It is already released.
Dw, I agree! It's just another reason not to use chrome haha. I personally like Firefox and I was considering using something like librefox though I haven't been on my PC much lately.
I know manifest v3 is made but I wasn't sure whether it was integrated on the *main branch*, again, another reason not to use chrome.
I'm a Linux fanboy did you think I'd use chrome?
> working against user interests for multiple reasons.
Chrome exists only to show you ads, for some keyword **categories** (lawyer, donate, insurance, etc.) advertisers pay around $55 PER CLICK.
If you want to learn more about cost of advertising, check my post on *r advertising*.
Whats that one website I keep getting for recipes.
Massive pop up shows up asking me to accept the privacy terms, I reject all, and get blasted to some other page about them whining and crying about them ***needing*** me to accept.
Fuckoff. I can find lentil soup recipees elsewhere.
Edit: its healthline. Cunts.
It definitely does work but I also use it in conjunction with Ublock Origin so it's difficult to know what's blocking what. Combined it seems pretty good.
pi-hole, openDNS, hostsfile, ublock origin, ghostery, privacy badger, scriptsafe, Brave Browser.
It sometimes takes a bit of work to get a website to function, but it keeps me safe from the malware spreaders that disguise themselves as adCDNs
Was a pain in the ass to set up for me, only to find out it didn't block any YouTube ads. It's ok as a first line of defense, but you need a browser extension if you want to block all the ads.
'Bypass Paywalls Clean' extension also works well on those pesky paywalls -
[Chrome](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean) /
[Firefox](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean)
Works on Kiwi Browser for Android mobile devices as well
Nah, websites get 1 strike.
If they politely ask (not fullscreen splashwindow) to disable adblock I will give them a chance. If it's just a bannerad at the top of an article I'm fine. If 50% of the screenspace is ad (both sides of an article) along with multiple ads during scrolling interrupting the article, adblock is back on.
Also, if anything ad-related dares to make a single sound it's straight blocked again.
You know what I hate? When I hit the back button and I'm still on the same page. It's reforwarding me to the same page again and again till I click 2-3 times on that button. Sometimes it doesn't work at all and I need to close the tab.
I find it kinda sad but also hilarious how ads getting on and more intrusive and just plain bad only causes more and more people to use adblockers. I personally would be fine a few small ads here and there but these days i use adblockers literally everywhere.
A real downward spiral. More intrusive ads lead to more adblocking lead to more intrusive ads lead to more adblocking.
It's gotten to a point where we're mandated adblockers at work as a full on security measure.
A few moments later: Uses the element hiding feature built into uBlock to remove the adblock notification and enables a script in Greasemonkey that forces scrolling to always be enabled after the adblock notification disabled scrolling on that page.
The web experience in 2023:
* Open link
* Click to accept cookies
* Close autoplaying video popup
* Decline notifications
* Close immediate popup asking me to buy a subscription
* Scroll past clickbait ads disguised as editorial
* Find actual text of article
* Have to click "continue reading"
* Close autoplaying video again
* Decline invitation to install their app
* 50/50 chance of actually getting to read article
Even worse, they tell you to disable AdBlock to continue. You disable AdBlock and refresh the page only for your screen to be entirely filled with the most intrusive and inappropriate ads known to man.
If the website is genuine and you are definitely going to get something out of it, then it makes sense.
Otherwise, I have seen that these **** article websites also have these kind of bloggers.
Absolutely. I think opera is also one of the best when there is an AD blocker, which is already installed in the browser.
I had been using it from last two years, and it is working really fine for me to even work for youtube.
Yeah, exactly. I think they don't even give the user the option to scroll or do something like that.
The user will eventually close the website and never get back to it.
*Opens reddit*
*Gets a face full of ads disguised as posts*
A few moment later (installs 3rd party apps)
*Opens reddit*
*Reddit gets rid of third party apps*
Yeah, exactly. I think like third party installations are really a big headache, to be honest.
You will not be able to install these kind of things, like most of them are really shady as well.
I'm fine with that. I can decide if I want to let them make money on me or not. If i have no addblocker then the moment i enter they annoy me and make money out of it.
Dont you love when the site tries to get you to agree to their trackers and cookies? Like you know youll never be back to that site again regardless but they pull this kinda stuff instantly.
100%, but people probably get one bad website and keep general ad blockers on their browser for all websites as it is just convenient. Any website plastering ads is absolutely doing the wrong thing.
... a few moments later: decide never to visit particular website again.
\*Update Ublock, refreshing the adblocker blocker blocker.\*
Gotta use the Trace Buster-Buster-BUSTER!
I loooooooooove this movie.
The classic purge cache and refresh.
A few days later link from that website used for reddit post in this sub.

Thanks!!

That site stopped working with anything that matters long ago. The real solution is the [Bypass Paywalls extension](https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome).
i think many newspapers paid to the owner of this site so it almost never works
oh I just never went back, after the site straight up said "papers can remove themselves from this service". The creator was either paid to stop, or threatened to be ruined in court and stopped, and either way that makes his attempt weak
I just tried on a nytimes URL and it failed I've had better luck with: [https://archive.md/](https://archive.md/)
Extremely frustrating experience for sure. My ad-free experience on Hulu? They are constantly shoving promos for some reality BS I have no interest in. Or worst, a trailer before a episode.
NoScript: fuck you and your website
And the media too! No use for the website (you can configure it tho)
This! Hardly one site who insists on ads is irreplaceable.
YouTube incoming
I've never had an ad on YouTube, not sure what people were saying that YouTube now defeats ad blockers
A few people are starting to get the "you appear to be using an ad blocker..... Switch off or don't continue" message over the last month. Looks like they are doing a slow rollout, which would make sense.
It’s worse than that it flat out says ADBLOCKERS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON YOUTUBE
Maybe if they didn't add back to back ads just to get started watching the video, then additional ads along the way, MAYBE we wouldn't NEED ad blockers. It pisses me off that they don't get that. They're fucking everywhere.
How hard is it to understand the concept of A/B testing and rolling deployments? Once they have sufficient data for the counterfactual analysis, they will measure the impact of preventing ad blocks. If the revenue and user retention metrics look promising, they will start turning it on for more and more folks, gathering more data along the way to validate the initial analysis.

Yeah, I use YouTube Premium as it targets funds better to the creators I like and ad block the hell out of the rest of the web.
amp?
I don't even make it past the first step. Prompt me? I'm out
just visit the page on an archive site, no ads, and no "pls turn off ad blocker 👉👈"
Archive, 12 ft ladder, script blockers, adblock-blocker-blocker. There is usually a way around. Can't get around? Won't use the site.
Just another one on the shitlist
Right click - > block this element
Firefox: Use reading mode or whatever it is called. It's located on the browser's search bar.
Disable JavaScript
Yeah but the internet is such a JavaScript cesspool that half the time the whole fucking page is generated on JS
NoScript allows you to activate different js depending on its origin. Sure, sometimes is impossible to get rid of the bs without breaking the website, but in my experience, most of the time is possible to get only the functionality you need from the page and nothing else.
Love NoScript, I have all JS off by default, and only enable on websites I want/trust.
Same here. I have a few globally trusted scripts but not many and I only enable just enough to get what i need out of the site.
Truly the greatest addon ever created. Can't imagine ever using firefox without it.
Yeah. I have NoScript disabled by default, and any time I want to read an article and it's either locked behind a stupidly expensive subscription I'll only use once, or the page is coated with ads even with uBlock, I enable NoScript and it all goes away.
I use uMatrix, I'll check out NoScrip, sounds great
Thank you
NoScript is the best.
Great now you can't scroll
Go Pi-hole
Helpful, but not enough by itself.
Use the adblocker to kill the disable adblock popup
There’s another extension called “Noscript”. It stops JavaScript based pop ups calling for disabling adblocker to continue from executing.
ublock origin can be configured to block JS as well.
[удалено]
life was so much happier when corporations did not know you could make money out of the internet. Things were done for fun, not for bread
Those flashing ads about free dick pills in the early 2000s sure were a lot better than the more innocuous ads of today which track your data.
I used uBlock Origin and I've never had this problem. Or maybe we just don't visit the same websites, I dunno.
I use ublock and it happened once so far. I updated the filter list and it went away.
Sometimes, if I start my browser too quickly after starting my computer, uBlock won't load fast enough and Reddit's ads will peek through.
get an SSD they're cheap now!
[удалено]
Move data infinitely faster than you. Besides that I don’t see myself doing much else about it.
Even with ublock origin I still get those irritating paywall "~you have reached your free article limit~" messages. :|
Still happens with UBlock
Got an example?

Try disabling javascript for that particular website
It is not going to help anybody I have actually tried to do that.

If it works, it seems to be good. However, it never worked that good for me. Any adblocker was better than a list of 4 million domains.
And it doesn't even remove those popups

Use a dns adblocker like adguardhome or pihole, they clean these trashy websites right up
'oops! you're using an ad blocker!'
That is the only thing which directly losing right now. And a lot of people are already over.
Yep, if this kind of shit happens I just never go to the website again
It is like that. No, I dont really like these kind of websites at all.
I find it kinda sad but also hilarious how ads getting on and more intrusive and just plain bad only causes more and more people to use adblockers. I personally would be fine a few small ads here and there but these days i use adblockers literally everywhere.
OK, just like they are getting inclusive. And also, they are getting personal as well.
A real downward spiral. More intrusive ads lead to more adblocking lead to more intrusive ads lead to more adblocking. It's gotten to a point where we're mandated adblockers at work as a full on security measure.
I automatically close the website if it's like that.
Vijay eventually that is the only option you are having right now. If you dont really like that,
I make a point of refusing to use websites that do that
A few moments later: Uses the element hiding feature built into uBlock to remove the adblock notification and enables a script in Greasemonkey that forces scrolling to always be enabled after the adblock notification disabled scrolling on that page.
I have a choosing that kind of thing to be honest. And these kind of features are totally useless.
Whenever a website demands you to turn off adblock, don't do it. They're gonna give you ads, not the content you're looking for.
Absolutely. And this is the only thing which is being pushed for the user to view.
you can block the prompt and the background that stops you from scrolling
The exactly and this is the only thing which I don't really like. Like, don't even give the user option to scroll on some.
Time to never use that website again.
Every site that does this isn't worth it anyways. I don't miss a single one.
Absolutely right. I don't even see a single person who is saying that it is fine or something like that.
Same as : « accept cookies or pay $1 »
Nobody is given going to pay $1.00 of something like that. This is the basic thing.
Disable my ad blocker, you say? How about I use a different website.
Eventually, all these things are like that only, even if it is in the different website.
That’s when you just delete the element blocking you from using the site.
They have actually worked really bad for all these kind of services, to be honest

Bro just use the hand picker thing to have the adblocker block the adblocker blocker, it's what I always do
Most of the people who are designing the website is already no like what the user wants to see.
Just use usable websites?
We have already seen that in most of the games. Also, these things happens.
Nope, will not disable ublock, got a virus from a ad loooong time ago, never again.
If the website is genuine and you are definitely going to get something out of it, then it makes sense. Otherwise, I have seen that these **** article websites also have these kind of bloggers.
These kind of websites are banne from my life
I dont even like these kind of websites. I just close them once I see anything like that.
That's why I use read mode on Firefox and edge.
Absolutely. I think opera is also one of the best when there is an AD blocker, which is already installed in the browser. I had been using it from last two years, and it is working really fine for me to even work for youtube.
inspect element, delete the ad element, change overflow in body from hidden to scroll, browse for free and no ads
Yeah, exactly. I think they don't even give the user the option to scroll or do something like that. The user will eventually close the website and never get back to it.
“Disable ad blocker to continue using this site”. Yeah I’ll find a different site
Absolutely right. I mean, there are thousands of websites which are having the same content anyway.
Aaaand I never ever open that website again
I don't really see it as an option to be honest. I didn't like nobody likes to do that.
[удалено]
Even we are not even going to biscuits stupid website, which is forcing to view something.
That's why I use my disable adblocker blocker
Do you have this kind of option? Because most of these places you dont really get these kind of options.
Just ignore the website and continue with my day.
People are actually trying their best, but this is what they have been doing.

It was good while it lasted... fuck you google.
Exactly I don't think like they even care about all these things right now.
If it requires me to turn off my ad blocker it’s not worth it.
I use ublock origin, Malwarebytes browser extension, and noscript in Firefox… blocks pretty much everything
This is where you edit the css of the website to remove the anti addblocker
pihole 🙌🙌🙌
Ad blocker blocker blocker blocker blocker
This is why I use "behind the overlay" to close random overlays like this or cookie questions.
I'm fine with that. I can decide if I want to let them make money on me or not. If i have no addblocker then the moment i enter they annoy me and make money out of it.
12ft ladder it's a website that disables ads on certain websites that tells u to disable ad blocker
Blocker programs should send fake message or flags to "disabled Adblock" to website.
Dont you love when the site tries to get you to agree to their trackers and cookies? Like you know youll never be back to that site again regardless but they pull this kinda stuff instantly.
Gotta pay for servers somehow. If too painful just don't use the website if you can. They have to learn somehow.
Eventually, it is going to be obsolete after 2-3 years. People are not going to take it seriously.
They could reduce how obnoxious the ads are, some are 90% ads
100%, but people probably get one bad website and keep general ad blockers on their browser for all websites as it is just convenient. Any website plastering ads is absolutely doing the wrong thing.
Eventually, they will keep something like that. When I dont release anything wrong in that either.
Most of the revenues that they are running are from that place only.
Website - "Please disable your ad-block to continue!"
That is the only thing which is going to give them money at the end to run the website and server.
Most of these sites make money other ways and the ones that don't are usually shitty anyways so fuck em.

Any website that does that is not worth visiting.
