I know, I know, the wisest thing to do is to abandon them, but today I came across a site that I simply couldn’t bypass because it always blocked me with an extremely stupid “disable your adblock” video, that infuriated me so much… I would 100% migrate to torrents if I didn’t find such unique catalogs on these sites.
I go to element picker and then I just delete the thing.
If it doesn’t fix the issue and let me scroll or whatever, then I just leave. If it works, then great.
Block scripts, using whatever you want to use. I use Brave (queue criticism)
Most the sites that have that ‘feature’ usually have a link that says " Continue without disabling adblock" but if I can’t find that I use the next site in my search.
Go to uBO’s dashboard, disable scripts, reload. Or just set browser to Reader Mode. Somehow, works over 75% of the time.
If they deserve it (e.g. 404media) I’ll drop it. Else it’s abandoned.
This is the way.
If they’re a shit website, I’m a lot more spiteful and put their content on the way back machine or post it publicly somewhere.
You close the tab, and block the domain completely
The back button
I close the tab.
I use uMatrix (uBlock’s big brother), so sites that do this generally lose first-party JS privileges real fast.
How have I not heard of this before? Just added to my browsers. Thanks!
It’s not an improvement over the previous meme but I take any chance I get to post this image
It’s such the best meme, and a thing that so many people need to see at every opportunity so keep posting it.
99% of the time, unless there’s something I’m convinced I can only get there and I really need it.
I avoid the site.
Yeah I literally just close the tab. Same if anything comes up with a paywall or login or weird capcha thing. Just like “ah fuck this” and move on lol.
I handle them by realising that whatever they have, it’s not worth disabling the blocker for, so fuck them.
I get my Spanish Latin media 🏴☠️ from many sites like that.
Not always an option to just go elsewhere.
Ublock > block element
Report it on ublock origins github, gets fixed pretty quickly from my experience
yeah i’ve never seen a nag i couldn’t get around with element picker or custom filter. even the youtube injected ads only lasted a few days.
On iOS, Wipr 2 blocks ads AND overrides “disable your adblocker” things (and autoplaying videos, cookie shit, and tons of other stuff)
