This is why I use an adblocker blocker blocker (https://github.com/reek/anti-adblock-killer/ https://github.com/reek/anti-adblock-killer/).

  Seems to me this functionality could be wrapped up in a web proxy. The proxy can pretend to allow all the ads, and simply drop them on the way to clients. Of course this doesn't deal with the issue of ads soaking up a bunch of bandwidth. I get tired of installing ad blockers on every machine/device in the house, and on some machines use multiple different browsers -- I'm suffering from blocker installation fatigue.

If you run dnsmasq, you can block [1] a lot of ads for your entire house at once through DNS. 1: https://www.debian-administration.org/article/535/Blocking_ad_servers_with_dnsmasq https://www.debian-administration.org/article/535/Blocking_a...

      There's also Pi Hole, which you setup on a raspberry pi. Which is nice because you can leave it on all day. Where as at night when I shut down my desktop but might be using my phone or a tablet. https://pi-hole.net/ https://pi-hole.net/

        This looks awesome, but is there a way to bypass this from the browser? Occasionally, I give in and disable ad block if I really want to see something.

      Thanks for the link.

    >The proxy can pretend to allow all the ads, and simply drop them on the way to clients. Look into setting up a Squid node for your home network and run adblock in the ACL rules.

  For anyone using uBlock Origin, you can enable this in 3rd-party filters.

    I believe it still requires a Tampermonkey script in addition to the filter list to properly function. I'm not sure how I feel about having to use a Tampermonkey script for it (I currently don't use either the filter list or the script, I rely on uBlock Origin's built in functionality instead (see below)). It's also worth noting that uBlock Origin has a separate redirection framework which includes certain anti-anti-adblock capabilities. uBlock Origin also recently introduced an overlay buster[1] which can work as a generic filter to block the kinds of overlays that the anti-adblockers show.

  This is a silly arms race. I can't wait until sites start employing adblocker blocker blocker... blockers.
