It says on the page that I should disable my adblocker because it might adversely affect the performance on Bloomberg.com and that I would have the best experience with Bloomberg.com without it.
It is highly doubtful that any webpage gets better when I allow a flood of unwanted junk to be added. Usually it gets bloated, slower, insecure and hard to look at because of added animations. Apparently Bloomberg and I have quite a difference in understanding what the "best experience" with a web page could be...
- coldpie 10y agoYeah. I'd be more sympathetic to this approach if they were honest instead of blatantly lying.
- tombrossman 10y agoI can confirm that the 'best experience' for browsing the site is with NoScript. The page loads lightning fast and I can read the stories and see the images just fine. If I need progressive enhancement I know how to selectively enable it. I see these stories about adblock detectors and so far they all seem to rely on JavaScript. JavaScript is great if it is adding a function or some content I want, but unfortunately that's not what usually happens. I think we've reached a tipping point recently where the relative annoyance of disabling Javascript is now less than the benefit of allowing it everywhere.
