- laxd 1y agoJust use noscript and a separate browser for malicious sites like fb and ig. It might seem painfull at first, but you'll quickly end up with with a web that is better than before.
- prmoustache 1y agoNo. Just use blabla is not enough. Sites which do that should be denounced.
- squidbeak 1y agoWhat's wrong with doing both?
- bigstrat2003 1y agoNothing is wrong with doing both. But when the reply to "this site does shady shit" is "just run this addon", it comes across with a subtext of "stop whining, you can solve it yourself". Perhaps not intentionally, but that is how it generally comes across.
- laxd 1y agoIt was only meant as a pragmatic here-and-now way of dealing with the issue, for the hn crowd. Most people are helpless victims.

- dylan604 1y agoYou can sit around and wait for things to change, or you come up with a workaround to get done what needs to be done. You seem to be against workarounds instead of making people just sit idle doing nothing.

- graemep 1y agoTo whom should they be denounced and what effect do you expect it to have?
- Findecanor 1y agoAgreed. In the meantime, I'd suggest installing Privacy Badger [0]. It blocks those domains for me. In return I get an angry popup that claims that I'm using an "ad blocker", but it can be clicked away. (Privacy Badger is not strictly an ad-blocker. It does not care what is and what is not an ad. That it blocks ads on this site is simply an effect of those ads being used to track visitors) 0. https://privacybadger.org/ https://privacybadger.org/
