We already know who will be let through - the ABP whitelist is public. It's the majority of the ad tech world including the most intrusive native networks.
- epistasis 11y agoI don't have much experience with ABP, but I'm also having difficulty finding complaints about intrusive ads getting through ABP. Is this something that you've experienced personally, or is it just from the companies reputations that are on the whitelist?
- nugget 11y agoI experienced it personally and switched from ABP to uBlock as a result.
- epistasis 11y agoThanks, that's good to know, I'll keep an eye out for this!
- anabis 11y agoThis caught my attention, as I am allowing "acceptable" ads. 1. What was the ad like? 2. Didn't disabling "acceptable" ads on ABP work?
- nugget 11y ago1. Standard native click bait. 2. I didn't test disabling but assume that it would work as advertised - I didn't want to support a company that would enable whitelisting/acceptable ads as default in order to build up enough users as a means of extorting everyone else in the ecosystem.
