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.
Well, if it’s not something I really want to see, I just close it. If I do want to see it, then:
- if I’m on my laptop, I open dev tools and remove the element blocking other interaction
- if I’m on my phone or the above doesn’t work on laptop, I open an anonymous window, disable adblock, read/watch/whatever the content, enable adblock, close anonymous window
I do and same for other kinds of annoyances, like the recent trend of “pay us or give us consent to mine your data”.
90% close it, bye 10% try archive.is if it doesn’t work, bye
If it’s something I really want and using crypt(dot)cc or whatever it is with the captcha like puzzles with the alien like creatures, I disable and make sure to re-enable when done. Otherwise I go away.
For other sites, if I cannot element destroy it and see the content, I’m outta there as fast as a deadbeat who just found out his girlfriend is pregnant.
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.
Many sites work best with NoScript because the anti AdBlock is done by JavaScript.
(Of course that doesn’t always work, but when it does, great.)
Go to uBO’s dashboard, disable scripts, reload. Or just set browser to Reader Mode. Somehow, works over 75% of the time.
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.
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.
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.
Block scripts, using whatever you want to use. I use Brave (queue criticism)
queue criticism
It’s cue.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cue
a signal (such as a word, phrase, or bit of stage business) to a performer to begin a specific speech or action
That last line is your cue to exit the stage.
I assume you were requesting a critique on your comment.
I think they may be British, and want those who wish to criticize to for a queue
It’s funny that without actually spotting the mistake I just read it as the op expecting multiple criticisms to and basically telling people bringing them to get in line.
The back button
You close the tab, and block the domain completely
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.
I close the tab.
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.
Unless you really trust that site, I wouldn’t do it. Think “ppp” (prohibit porn- or piratesites), because those sites are the least trustworthy to load javascript.
