How do you provide support to them for websites that malfunction due to the adblockers? IME, they often don't recognize that the problem is the adblocker much less have the patience to call me for help - and if they did, I don't always have time to help them when they need it.
- packet_nerd 9y agoI install Firefox + uBlock Origin and tell them that if they have specific issues they can hop back to IE. That being said, I'm trying to think, and I honestly don't know that I've ever seen any sites break due to ad blockers (it may be that I'm guilty of not recognizing the source of malfunctions myself). Regardless, the web is a big place and life is short. If a site can't get it right I just move on. Mental bandwidth is a limited resource and (IME) ad-blocked pages consume less overall, despite possible issues. Oh, I have seen the ones that throw up anti-adblock walls. I hate those.
