Thank you, cases like this really make me want to disable uMatrix.
If there was a way to make all the ads actually display the kind of thing I like, even if it's via some network-specific checkboxes or something like that, I'd gladly disable uMatrix and any ad blocking.
But then I remember the ads with sounds, or the mining ads, or ads that don't even have anything to do with the websites I visit nor the one I'm currently in... no thanks.

- strkek 9y agoI don't use Facebook but yes, from the url I think that's exactly the sort of thing I want. I think Google lets you tailor their ads too, but these giants are more like the exception. Some websites use different ad networks, so ideally I'd like something like that but as a browser setting. For example some predefined list of topics (the same way there's a list of TLDs), and making the browser send a header like "Advertising: 1,20,6,78,9481" and then ad networks would adhere to those categories. Of course that's way too idealistic and there's no way something like that will ever happen, but if people want me to disable my ad blocker, that's the only way I'd agree to it. Otherwise is an instant "no".
