- chipperyman573 10y agoThe problem is that non-techie users have started to use adblock (even my grandma had adblock on her laptop). Obviously HN users would be able to look at a page, think "Oh, a websocket could be used to provide real-time updates on vote counts" (for example), and allow it. But a regular user would see a scary warning and just close out of it.
