I don't mind ads; I just don't want clickbait crap about shocking celebrity photos and "deep searches" for local singles.
<plug>
So I created a minimal blocklist for the worst clickbait (mostly Outbrain and Taboola): https://github.com/cpeterso/clickbait-blocklist/ https://github.com/cpeterso/clickbait-blocklist/
The list is compatible with uBlock Origin and Adblock Plus. If you know of any other bad clickbait ad networks, please let me know! As the article describes, I now see clickbait ads from Google that are almost as bad, but I'm not quite ready to block all Google ads in what was supposed to be a minimal blocklist.

- duskwuff 10y agoA few years ago, I wrote something similar: https://github.com/duskwuff/syndicationblock/ https://github.com/duskwuff/syndicationblock/ Is Yavli still a thing? I had a hell of a time blocking their ads -- they served content from custom subdomains, and used class names "borrowed" from Google to evade ad blockers.
- cpeterso 10y agoThanks! I check out your syndication blocklist. I haven't seen Yavli in my testing.
