Forbes is using the 'FuckAdblock' thing... so yes, it doesn't work when you're using Adblock. But if you install the FuckFuckAdblock extension, you should be able to see the article. Here's a link to the extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fuckfuckadblock/hb...

With all of the back-and-forth in this Adblock War, is anyone verifying these new extensions that can MITM you from your browser?

I thought you were kidding until I clicked the link. Probably named with intent to inspire comments just like yours. Lmao.

Hah :) So, as it happens, I was just last night talking to a guy who was basically attempting to make a 'FuckFuckFuckAdblock' -- a js solution to detecting the presence of FuckFuckAdblock extension. (I'm not sure how far he got, I'll try getting in touch with him soon to see how that's going. And, the guy was looking into creating this just for kicks, he's not in the ads industry). Anyway, so naturally we might very well soon be seeing a FuckFuckFuckFuckAdblock extension (or F^4, if you would).

The logical conclusion of all this is probably a FuckEmAll extension that uses an ADsafe-style subset of HTML/CSS/JS, automatically transforms anything to it, performs checks that focuses on attackers' goals rather than tactics, and thereby prevents "all types of fuckry." [1]

Worked for me using Ad Block Plus.

I use microAdblock Origin, and Forbes doesn't work for me. Only with FuckFuckAdblock does Forbes work for me.

p.s.: you should use microadblock origin over ABP -- search past HN discussions for why it's preferable :)
