Having AdBlock extension, but like all my extensions also have "This can read and change site data > when you click the extension" while turn on to any domain that "misbehave" with sticky ads, videos or whatever annoying flashing things. Otherwise I'm just hurting content creators for no good reason.
I would not enable an extension on any domain i input my email, password, or otherwise have sensitive private information.
- treyd 3y ago> Otherwise I'm just hurting content creators for no good reason. It's less about the content creators and more about supporting a system / business model that isn't really sustainable and reliant on business practices that distract and in many cases actively harm consumers. Most content creators have Patreon profiles or some similar service for taking donations in a structured and community-driven way, why don't you use an adblocker and donate there?
- anyfoo 3y agoThat’s why Safari has content blocker extensions. Those cannot read the content or do network requests, they can only block content. I use 1Blocker. It’s made of several extensions, only one or two non-essential ones that are not pure content blockers (and so can read the site), and which I have turned off, with still very good results.
