Can you block it? A simple Ad Block Tester
- ochronus 1y agoMy adblocker blocks this on the DNS level ;) So, I guess the answer is: yes, I can block it
- gcarvalho 1y agoI'm not sure that's what you're implying, but DNS-level blocking is not more powerful than filtering in the browser, at least in the sense of what it is capable of. Content-filtering can and most definitely does block domains entirely, but it can also filter page elements served from the same domain which match a known ad "signature". Though, if you can't run an adblocker, e.g. your Smart TV's browser then sure, DNS-level blocking is your best bet.
- ochronus 1y agoNot implying anything, just saying that the domain is in a global blocklist already.
- jadar 1y agoJust installed uBlock lite on my iPhone and it seems to hold up against this test.
- RugnirViking 1y agofascinated to see what people's recommendations are. I have uBlock origin and it seems to do pretty good but it does get the "adblocked detected"

- saghm 1y agoThe ad was blocked at the storage level, I guess
- whalesalad 1y agomy blocker works so great the site won't even load
- rtkwe 1y agoIt got HN hugged to death.

- alphabetter 1y agoRelevant previous topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43120186 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43120186 "Test your adblocker" websites can harm users and the adblocker ecosystem (brave.com)
- WD-42 1y agoPage doesn’t load at all, so yes I guess.
- CoopaTroopa 1y agoIronically this site falls into my company's content filtering and was automatically blocked
- Brajeshwar 1y agoI occasionally go to AdBlock Tester to test my browser’s ability to block ads. (No affiliation) https://adblock-tester.com https://adblock-tester.com
- markr1 1y agoLooks like testing ad blockers is trickier than we thought—sometimes the test sites even get blocked themselves!
- r-woolsey 1y agowhen the ad block tester gets blocked you know youre on to something.. seed round incoming

- xigoi 1y agoDid I just get rickrolled by an adblock tester‽
- autoexec 1y agoMy browser passed with flying colors, but I suspect that had less to do with my ad blocker and more to do with the fact that I don't have JS enabled. When you can get away with it, not allowing JS makes websites less annoying and more secure.
- Oceoss 1y agoanyone knows the best ad blocker? I use brave adblock plus no longer works well
- olivergregory 1y agoNoScript does the job. Not a single ad in sight.
