"breaking the web by default"

It's not breaking the web, it's breaking part of the web's grasp on users. Is the web for people or is it there to use people?

"Ad blocking will start being a problem"

I live in the days where both all ads and all bullshit responses to my adblocker ("don't block my ads!!") are blocked; it's a breeze of fresh air. Sometimes a site tries to get around it and I block it permanently.

What do you use to block the requests to disable your ad blocker?

Between uBlock Origin and uMatrix in whitelist mode, you'll virtually never see those "disable your blocker" nags.

uBlock Origin comes with anti-adblock lists; they're just disabled by default. I also use element picker mode.

Element picker mode is right at the edge of my patience, so I usually give up if it doesn't work. If I still really want something from the site I view source.
