Does uBlock have a mechanism for allowing non-intrusive ads in?
I resisted ad-blockers for years because I believe in giving up my eyeballs to ads for free content, but finally gave up when my son started downloading minecraft mods, and he'd have trouble discerning between real download links and ads which installed malware. So I really don't mind some basic advertising, I just don't want (subjectively) "obnoxious" ads (and, yeah, the subjective part makes it hard).
I see that uBlock allows you to configure lists - are there lists that only contain the worst violators? (Forgive my ignorance, as I said I'm new to ad-blockers as I resisted for so long).
- werewewhere 11y agouBlock's creator has a pretty strong stance against premade whitelists from what I've seen (the original version is currently called 'UblockOrigin' by gorhil), so there's no default allow function. You can of course allow ads for specific sites by clicking on the icon and then clicking the power button.
