"The problem for me as a user, is how would I know the difference that such a site has, and then know that I can whitelist it?"
Simple. Write that in big, bold letters at the top of your site. You know, the same place where that autoplay video ad usually goes.
- makomk 10y agoA site I sometimes frequent has a big, bold banner at the top asking people to disable adblock and claiming it doesn't use audio ads and other annoying ads. It's also the site whose video ads that autoplayed with sound finally prompted me to install an adblocker after that last upgrade. The problem with claims like these is that they're not trustworthy anymore.
- kbart 10y agoIf you don't trust a publisher, there's no reason to whitelist it anyway. Dealing with any business entity always involves some amount of trust: a trust that your order will be fulfilled, your card details won't be misused, your news stories are real, milk from a local market is not spoiled etc. A business that abuses this trust doesn't stay long.
