- flukus 9y agoEven trusted webpages pull in crap from all sorts of places that I don't trust, the way the web is structured is a disaster. My public news provider for instance (http://www.abc.net.au/news/ http://www.abc.net.au/news/) has all sorts of shit broken when you run ublock or noscript. There "live breaking news feeds" that are rather important may as well be a blank page because it just reposts twitter messages. And they're one of the better sites with no advertising.
