Damn, the ads have devolved and are harder to block. At least don't show the ad to non-macs.

- coldpie 11y agoIt's just a straight-up image and a link. While I hate advertising, this is a compromise I'm willing to accept.
- davb 11y agoAbsolutely. I'd trade what we're stuck with today for simple, self-hosted images and links (no trackers, third party scripts, creepiness) in a heartbeat. This is advertising done right.
- mirimir 11y agoI guess. But damn, I'm so used to not seeing ads that I spent maybe 10 seconds wondering how the image was relevant to the article. "Maybe UBAR is an Uber side project?", I was thinking. Then I saw "SPONSOR" ;)
- eli 11y agoAs more people block ads, ads will get harder to block
- alwaysAttending 11y agoDisable your JavaScript for maximum benefit
- recursive 11y agoMaximum benefit? You'd still be seeing this ad, and most websites would stop working. What's the benefit?
- Majestic121 11y agoMost website actually work okay with js disabled. Obviously, in this case, it would not change anything since it is just an image and a link. But on the regular web, disabling js does have a lot of benefits (no tracking, faster browsing, etc...).
- yk 11y agoExcept if you have NoScript (at least on Linux).
- coldpie 11y agoHuh? It's literally just an image and a link. NoScript isn't doing anything for you with regards to this ad.
