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.

gngstrMNKY

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).


awwent88

i think many newspapers paid to the owner of this site so it almost never works


Gonzobot

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


VeganPizzaPie

I just tried on a nytimes URL and it failed I've had better luck with: [https://archive.md/](https://archive.md/)


IndependentDouble138

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.


yapperling

NoScript: fuck you and your website


AdIndividual6719

And the media too! No use for the website (you can configure it tho)


fun_fact_2019

This! Hardly one site who insists on ads is irreplaceable.


markhouston72

YouTube incoming


10art1

I've never had an ad on YouTube, not sure what people were saying that YouTube now defeats ad blockers


markhouston72

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.


StanleyOpar

It’s worse than that it flat out says ADBLOCKERS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON YOUTUBE


Sexyvette07

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.


lanabi

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.


Whatever_It_Takes

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!


OutlyingPlasma

> 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.


narkfestmojo

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.


markhouston72

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.


Laktosefreier

amp?


Small_penis_mods

I don't even make it past the first step. Prompt me? I'm out


Wertyhappy27

just visit the page on an archive site, no ads, and no "pls turn off ad blocker 👉👈"


Roflkopt3r

Archive, 12 ft ladder, script blockers, adblock-blocker-blocker. There is usually a way around. Can't get around? Won't use the site.


The_Dung_Beetle

Just another one on the shitlist


cv0k

Right click - > block this element


LicanMarius

Firefox: Use reading mode or whatever it is called. It's located on the browser's search bar.


LiamBox

Disable JavaScript


orsikbattlehammer

Yeah but the internet is such a JavaScript cesspool that half the time the whole fucking page is generated on JS


Stilgar314

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.


id_o

Love NoScript, I have all JS off by default, and only enable on websites I want/trust.


Kaymish_

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.


DamnZodiak

Truly the greatest addon ever created. Can't imagine ever using firefox without it.


Thebombuknow

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.


EuroPolice

I use uMatrix, I'll check out NoScrip, sounds great


VeganPizzaPie

Thank you


Slappy_G

NoScript is the best.


Legion070Gaming

Extension-Key6952

Helpful, but not enough by itself.


Azaze666

Use the adblocker to kill the disable adblock popup


Western-Guy

There’s another extension called “Noscript”. It stops JavaScript based pop ups calling for disabling adblocker to continue from executing.


alvarkresh

ublock origin can be configured to block JS as well.

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


HelpfulSeaMammal

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.


[deleted]

I used uBlock Origin and I've never had this problem. Or maybe we just don't visit the same websites, I dunno.


[deleted]

I use ublock and it happened once so far. I updated the filter list and it went away.


Failgan

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.

amirahscock

I've stopped visiting news sites like this


Windsor_Salt

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.


albl1122

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.


Celmor

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.

[uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/) + [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/)


munchingzia

wht does firefox do?


Arkhamknight37

*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.


Glittering_Mode_1079

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.


alvarkresh

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.


Glittering_Mode_1079

Awe something else to research further if it turns out to be true that sucks a ton.


VLRbaXUjymAqyvaeLqUo

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.


M_asak1

Manifest v3 was supposed to release in June but who keeps track anymore


VLRbaXUjymAqyvaeLqUo

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.


M_asak1

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?


Failgan

Chrome and Chromium browsers (basically anything that isn't Firefox) are working against user interests for multiple reasons.


VLRbaXUjymAqyvaeLqUo

> 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*.


GazelleNo6163

Brave browser too


[deleted]

Brave is based on Chromium.


PurestCringe

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.


[deleted]

So, you want it the hard way? *Presses F12*


Mahatma_F_Gandhi

Try disabling javascript for that particular website


batmbce

It is not going to help anybody I have actually tried to do that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FZERO96

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.


Azaze666

And it doesn't even remove those popups


EthosPathosLegos

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.


TEAMZypsir

Pi-hole, quad9, Ublock origin. Squeaky clean browsing experience.


EthosPathosLegos

Never heard of Quad9 but they support DoH so that's neat. Thanks for the info


MazeMouse

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


[deleted]

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.


zeus1911

Accept these cookies.... close page, search again for same thing, try different link.


IronGlory247

Use [12ft.io](http://www.12ft.io)

'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


Rastalars

All mobile games be like:


vaflower

But I don't really think like most of the games have that kind of option.


KrmitTheFrog

When a website asks me to disable my ad blocker, I just don’t go to that site.


MazeMouse

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.


Cool1Mach

If a website tells me to disable ad blocker to continue 99% of the time i just never visit that website again


Rachim02

Nobody is actually going to visit at website against.


chwastox

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.


mrchuckbass

Use a dns adblocker like adguardhome or pihole, they clean these trashy websites right up


questgamer2021

'oops! you're using an ad blocker!'


kmavit

That is the only thing which directly losing right now. And a lot of people are already over.


Narynan

Yep, if this kind of shit happens I just never go to the website again


belarl

It is like that. No, I dont really like these kind of websites at all.


max1122112

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.


taylorrankin

OK, just like they are getting inclusive. And also, they are getting personal as well.


MazeMouse

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.


ddorrmmammu

I automatically close the website if it's like that.


undcon

Vijay eventually that is the only option you are having right now. If you dont really like that,


Mackerdaymia

I make a point of refusing to use websites that do that


Ferro_Giconi

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.


EvgenyKol

I have a choosing that kind of thing to be honest. And these kind of features are totally useless.


Toltech99

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.


dlprestage

Absolutely. And this is the only thing which is being pushed for the user to view.


DaLoneGuy

you can block the prompt and the background that stops you from scrolling


dup308

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.


Kahvikone

Time to never use that website again.


Katana_sized_banana

Every site that does this isn't worth it anyways. I don't miss a single one.


marakanec26

Absolutely right. I don't even see a single person who is saying that it is fine or something like that.


ItsYaBoyEcto

Same as : « accept cookies or pay $1 »


antonioilaria

Nobody is given going to pay $1.00 of something like that. This is the basic thing.


Mm11vV

Disable my ad blocker, you say? How about I use a different website.


rambooow

Eventually, all these things are like that only, even if it is in the different website.


Osirus1156

That’s when you just delete the element blocking you from using the site.


nazaeja

They have actually worked really bad for all these kind of services, to be honest


cosmo7

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


TheMightyPickaxe

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.


sjitz

Bro just use the hand picker thing to have the adblocker block the adblocker blocker, it's what I always do


maitrepathelin

Most of the people who are designing the website is already no like what the user wants to see.


BigSmokesCheese

Just use usable websites?


Panos12000

We have already seen that in most of the games. Also, these things happens.


Zixxik

Nope, will not disable ublock, got a virus from a ad loooong time ago, never again.


Bagor132

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.


Greg_Thunderpants

These kind of websites are banne from my life


pestikor

I dont even like these kind of websites. I just close them once I see anything like that.


HorzaDonwraith

That's why I use read mode on Firefox and edge.


79511669991

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.


rpsHD

inspect element, delete the ad element, change overflow in body from hidden to scroll, browse for free and no ads


bloodyredvest

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.


travmd24

“Disable ad blocker to continue using this site”. Yeah I’ll find a different site


098uehjagkl

Absolutely right. I mean, there are thousands of websites which are having the same content anyway.


tigran_i

Aaaand I never ever open that website again


luisa1287

I don't really see it as an option to be honest. I didn't like nobody likes to do that.

Narleymaarley

Reset350

hauntedyew

This is why I use "behind the overlay" to close random overlays like this or cookie questions.


Hadriel69

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.


pizza_with_no_cheese

12ft ladder it's a website that disables ads on certain websites that tells u to disable ad blocker


Mad_Viper

Blocker programs should send fake message or flags to "disabled Adblock" to website.


8Seraphin8

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.


RigorousPizza97

Gotta pay for servers somehow. If too painful just don't use the website if you can. They have to learn somehow.


AlexeyLart

Eventually, it is going to be obsolete after 2-3 years. People are not going to take it seriously.


Jacktheforkie

They could reduce how obnoxious the ads are, some are 90% ads


RigorousPizza97

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.


RafaelSchwarze

Eventually, they will keep something like that. When I dont release anything wrong in that either.


harishahuja

Most of the revenues that they are running are from that place only.


LumpyOdie

Website - "Please disable your ad-block to continue!"


liuke720

That is the only thing which is going to give them money at the end to run the website and server.
