I can’t read the article. I’m very interested, but Wired has become such a cesspool of popovers, pop ups, advertising, tracking, and general dark patterns that I just can’t go there... even with an ad blocker the experience is annoying and sucky.
What happened to them?
- generalizations 6y agoOnly thing I saw with uBlock Origin was the thing about 'running out of free articles'.
- fabianhjr 6y agoI don't know what ad blocker you are using but uBlock Origin did got everything.
- Groxx 6y agoThe cure for insufficient ad blocking is more ad blocking. ! row for wired ##.itemlist .athing:has(.sitestr:contains(wired.com)) ! the following comments/etc links ##.itemlist .athing:has(.sitestr:contains(wired.com)) + tr ! the following spacer ##.itemlist .athing:has(.sitestr:contains(wired.com)) + tr + tr.spacer

- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoHow will a proxy server block anything?
- atdt 6y agoYou can rewrite responses from upstream servers and omit the parts you don't like, like ads.
- jmnicolas 6y agoI'm on Firefox with uBlock origin, nothing to complain about. Out of curiosity what adblocker / browser are you using?
