Unfortunately ad-blockers also block static images hosted on your own server.
I run the community website for our small town. We have a (free) 'For sale' page where people can sell on/give away their unwanted goods, and upload pictures of them. It's enormously popular.
Every month or two I get an email from someone saying they can't see the pictures that accompany the ads. "I can't see the ads." "Are you using an ad-blocker?" "Yes." "What do you think an ad-blocker does..."
- mcbits 10y agoYes, it wasn't clear, but I don't think ad blockers should be so agressive against harmless static ads. Being able to create custom rules should be enough. That was just an example of why I don't thinking browsing "shields down" by default is a valid option. Even the most reputable sites (and regardless of one's politics, the Guardian is reputable) are a minefield.
