We're already all used to running ad/script block on our clients so accept a certain level of breakage. It's just a part of the cost of using the web that some sites are crap (youtube being the big one nowadays) but in the end we just "route around them" (they die).
- wolrah 3y ago> We're already all used to running ad/script block on our clients so accept a certain level of breakage. The "we" reading this post? Yeah, probably. The internet population as a whole? Absolutely not, nowhere close. I've been using Adblock or its descendants since the original Firefox extension where downloadable filter lists were a separate addon, and every time I have to browse a mainstream web site when using a "normal" person's computer it blows my mind how bad the experience is with all kinds of extra iframes I never normally see full of ads moving around, modals, etc. without even getting in to video content. Normal people don't troubleshoot things like we do, if it doesn't work they try to do the same thing over and over again until they get bored or annoyed and then either move on or call one of us to "fix it".
- selfhoster11 3y agoExactly. Besides, why should a grandma lose online banking access because some IT guy (or gal, I'm not judging) fat-fingered a certificate revocation in production and now the site is broken?
- Thorrez 3y ago>in the end we just "route around them" (they die) My comment was about the perspective of the website owner, not the website user. The website owner certainly doesn't want to be routed around and have the website die. So the website owner will avoid HPKP.
