   Another nuisance are overlay ads like the ones on this link.

   Agreed: > if your website can't make money without crappy ads, and nobody looks at your crappy ads because of advances in technology, then blaming that technology puts you squarely on the wrong side of history. However, GOOG would f

   Thank you. I should have clicked the link before posting. I'd agree that a better option would have been to have an ad network whitelist option to reward those who strive for improving UX. Tough spot to be in.

   Can you or anyone else tell me if The Deck ads still track and employ targeting. If they do, then personally I'd consider them still invasive and worth blocking. If not, then I see his point.

    The day of reckoning is here for Adtech and UX wins.

    Adapt or become irrelevant. Whatever the next model is for publishers, they need to remember that UX will win. - Stop tracking - Stop malverts - Stop overlays - Stop misusing visitor data Start with a good UX and put that first.

    It won't break the Internet. Users are telling Publishers what is acceptable. Now it's up to Publishers to change models or serve ads that are not pervasively tracking us, malvertising us and already breaking the Internet.

    Agreed, most will probably do nothing that's an inconvenience. It just seems that Windows 10 should be causing us all to leave Windows completely since it is out rightly not respecting users and not even caring about it. Linux time.

    If tiles are disabled / opted-out does Firefox cease sending this data to the mothership? I have to admit that as a long time Firefox user, Mozilla's recent product decisions are driving me slowly away.

    I'm surrounded by tablets (iPads), but only pick them up when I'm checking out a website layout. Tablets are too limited for me, often missing features or content due to responsive design practices. The mobile web treats them as s

    Agreed. Live Tiles are an example of form over function.

    On Ello, comments lead to respectful discussions without a real name policy. On HN, I don't often see many issues without a real name policy either. I suppose it depends on the community, policies and maybe actual content, but the poin

    Why is uBlock somewhat frowned upon here on HN? From what I've seen published it's still a good solution - works well for me. I thought the original developer gave up the project and was being rather difficult about the whole thin

    I believe that the growing aversion is toward the pervasive tracking and UX destroying variety of ads. Not all ads have to be that. It's not just an iOS user mentality obviously since ad block usage is increasing across desktops too.

    I actually should have clarified my intent better and hope no real harm was done along the way. I'll definitely work on this going forward.

    I figured that the Trending Now and Best Of were just based on raw numbers of shares and saves - nothing that required much algo intrusion. I suppose that I was just looking for better clarity on what Recommendations is and would be doi
