Disables
30 ads all over the page start to appear, moving and shifting the article I was trying to read, flashing in my face and covering content. An auto playing video starts to play, and follows me down the page.
Why won't anyone disable their ad blocker, we need ad revenue!
Not to mention Google, Facebook and everyone else now knows you visited that page and they even can look at where you are hovering at to determine focus.
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 also love the "Will you please let our dedicated team and our 658 partners use cookies and your private data? Pewtie pwease?? UwU"
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”.
Oh look, it's my sign to leave
Clicked "Continue without disabling"?
Yes, yes I have.
If it's a small website like the one you screenshotted, yes, I disable the adblocker for them.
If the website is unreadable without an adblocker like XDA, then fuck them, I'm going to block the adblocker-blocker
Its a case by case basis. Local news is probably a "yeah ok" or a niche hobby website that isnt an AI generated thinly veiled excuse for amazon affiliate links.
National organisation that still puts most of their shit behind a paywall and bombards me with bullshit. LOL, fuck off.
Ublock origin blocks tracking and surveillance as well. I don't want Google analytics
I keep adblock turned off for some websites, like small creators and things like that. As long as the ads aren't too terrible.
That is very bad for your privacy and security
Right-click, inspect, delete element
Silly me, always forgetting to right click on my touchscreen phone
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.
Probably better to just modify the page with ublock origin.
I hate Admiral so much. Just be glad this site didn't disable the bypass link.
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 don't think there is money in journalism. I think that is part of the problem these days
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
Ho-lee!
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 .
Some sites will keep showing it some will force you to turn off the adblocker
Not an issue on Firefox btw, though that's probably a garbage site to begin with
