Looks like ExtremeTech is using some kind of adblock detection/injection suite to inject ads, despite adblocker rules, after the page is already loaded.
Quite ironic, considering that I classify attempting to work around client software like uBlock, just as shady of a tactic as boot sector malware.
- MrRage 11y agoI'm using only Ghostery, and I did not see any ads. Perhaps it stops such code from running?
- undersuit 11y agoAn ad for Intel popped up on my first load with Ghostery. Additional reloads just have a large gray element taking up 20% of my viewing area.
- verbify 11y agoC'mon, it's not even in the same ballpark of shadiness.
- nullrouted 11y agoYou equate a site trying to compensate themselves by showing you an AD you should be seeing for viewing their content with someone creating a program that maliciously alters your computer and can take control of it? Seriously? Would you like to retract that statement as hyperbole or are you still wanting to stand by it?
