I install adblock to make viewing content on your site bearable. No, I really don't want to know the one weird odd tip of anything, or a flashing banner, or something that starts talking, or these pop-under windows. I can't even use merriam webster without adblock to lookup a word unless I want to get an audio blast of something, a netflix pop-under, and 2-4 other tap dancing gifs surrounding a definition. I can't even pay for an ad-free subscription to the site.
I use adblock to make your site usable. But hey, I understand, you have to keep up the good fight. Keep fighting your users.
- gyardley 15y agoNo need for the self-righteousness. The guy's a web security researcher who's doing AdBlock users a favor by posting this stuff publicly. If he was actually trying to screw over you rascally freeloaders, he wouldn't be posting instructions, he'd be quietly deploying and profiting.
- bdg 15y ago> self-righteousness I think you've interpreted that as an attack on the article's OP, not the fact that I have to use adblock to make the web usable.
