My heartfelt condolences to everyone who has had to browse the internet without an ad blocker.
Nobody deserves that.
- sinsterizme 7y agoIf nothing, this outage reminded me how valuable my adblocker really is. I got interrupted three times while watching a podcast, incredibly obnoxious.
- driverdan 7y agoThis is why you should have multi-tier defenses. An ad blocker in the browser, blackholed domains in your hosts file, and use DNS servers that also blackholes ad domains.
- BuckRogers 7y agoI used to do all 3 in the past, 4 with domain blocking done in router configuration, and am no longer a fan. It made troubleshooting any issue that may pop up too much of a hassle. Now I just use single-source blocking at the application layer. When Firefox disabled extensions, I simply used Edgium until they had it fixed.
- cyborgx7 7y agoI forgot I had the hosts file, and was surprised by how little ads I was seeing when the add-on was disabled, until I realised the reason.
