techcrunch is ok imo.
the verge on the other hand won’t load for 3 seconds if i have an ad-blocker turned on. so i stopped visiting it since their ads are 90s level of terrible.
- tjoff 7y agotechcrunch is using oauth, one of the absolute worst offenders. They should be banned from hn altogether.
- sealjam 7y agoI assume you're referring to the media company 'oath'[1] not the auth framework 'oauth'[2]? [1]: https://www.oath.com/ https://www.oath.com/ [2]: https://oauth.net/ https://oauth.net/
- tjoff 7y agoMy bad, I've read it incorrectly. It's Oath.
- icebraining 7y agoNitpick: they aren't using OAuth, they are owned by Oath (now Verizon Media).
- Sahhaese 7y agoThis is all you see when clicking techcrunch articles: https://imgur.com/a/mId1Jfi https://imgur.com/a/mId1Jfi If you "manage" your settings to block everything it'll just be back next time. As a consequence, I haven't read a techcrunch article since June 2018.
- jonknee 7y agoInteresting, I have never seen that and even tried in an Incognito tab and with Safari which I don't use regularly.
- Sahhaese 7y agoI'm guessing you're not in the EU then? I see this everywhere.
- jaclaz 7y agoI don't know, I use an old browser with javascript disabled, and I seem to read techcrunch articles just fine.
