Nice work! I would appreciate this more if it were available in the form of a uBlock list, rather than a standalone (and apparently pre-monetization) browser extension.
And to everyone who's complaining about 'stealing revenue': buzz off. It's a user agent, not a vendor agent. Screw these popups and nagware and screw your website which uses them.
- eganist 7y agoYeah, I take a pretty simple policy to ads. If you run your own ad platform from first-party code and you audit the process for ad inclusion as well as the code running the network to ensure only static ads from vetted partners, we're good and I won't block. Otherwise, block. Blame Forbes. https://www.networkworld.com/article/3021113/forbes-malware-ad-blocker-advertisements.html https://www.networkworld.com/article/3021113/forbes-malware-...
- bmn__ 7y agoI subscribe to various annoyance block lists; they have the same goal as pophurdle (hiding banners and notices and crap like that), only they are already established projects, work in browsers other than Chrome, have no intention of eventually screwing over the end user, and are community maintained. https://github.com/easylist/easylist/tree/master/fanboy-addon https://github.com/easylist/easylist/tree/master/fanboy-addo... https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/tree/master/AnnoyancesFilter/sections https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/tree/master/An... This post is not directed at parent, but the general HN reader who might be tempted to try pophurdle. Use uBlock Origin instead. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#installation https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#installation
