I use uBlock Origin (the full fat version in Firefox, not the lite version). It doesn't help, because the pop-ups aren't ads. There's one asking me if I wanna be spied on, one asking me to subscribe or sign in, and one huge one telling me that there's currently a discount on subscriptions.
I've got uBlock Origin on Firefox desktop too, and none of those show. Turn on more of the filter lists in the settings - especially the stuff in the "Cookie notices" and "Annoyances" sections.
I mean, that's a two-sided deal. "You watch ads, you read content". But that deal has been more and more broken by the ad networks and websites; a lot of sites are unnavigable without an adblocker now.
The days of plain text Google AdWords are long, long gone.
Only those who made the mistake of not using a content filter like uBlock Origin or something equally effective. I just visited the site and got neither pop-ups nor ads.
To those who say ”just use an adblocker” - if your local cafe had a group of waiters beating puppies right inside the entrance, would you just wear earplugs and close your eyes? Oh how low humanity has sunk when we accept such garbage.
Not one but TWO cookie consent banners, one with a huge list of radio buttons to disable, then two more banners, and 3 seconds into reading once again an ad blocks the screen. Who the heck tolerates this
today is the day i stopped reading opinion pieces from the technologyreview. not for presenting an opinion i don’t agree with, but for mistaking word soup for an argument.
Why would anyone subject themselves to so much hatred? Have some standards.
