‘One more reason to use adblocker. The beauty of 3rd party scripts running on your website, hijacking people's passwords like it's no big deal.’ Yeah but soon

Yeah but soon adblock and 3rd party adaptation will reach critical mass, we will start to see, 3rd party tools integrated as 1st party (with subdomains etc) then adblocks will be not much efficient

- chopin 9y agoThis could backfire badly. I don't use an explicit adblocker but NoScript, which blocks almost as efficient (and makes tracking more difficult). For the occasional site I allow 1st party script. If sites start to serve me malware this way, I will block them right away, too. I can't do business with you without Javascript enabled? I just move on to the next one. Or I go back to brick and mortar. As well, serving malware 1st party may have some legal consequences if got caught.
