What unintended consequences?
- jessaustin 6y agoSometimes checkout on storefront sites will rely on scripts served from domains that adblockers block. When this happens, it's easy enough to turn the adblocker off for a few minutes (or, conversely, to decide "nope I'm not shopping here").
- kawsper 6y agoAdblockers broke EasyJets navigation on their website, I think they have since fixed it.
- rconti 6y agoWeird formatting, things not working and you not remembering/understanding why, trying to keep settings in sync across browsers and platforms, and so on. IOW I've found it easier to tolerate ads and slow sites "functioning as intended" than the much-less-frequent but far-more-maddening broken functionality that takes me "longer than it should" to troublehsoot. I'm not sure I've used uBlock though, mostly ABP over the years.
