I love when they give you instructions on how to disable it. Lol, fuck you, website.

or if they try to guilt-trip you into disabling the ad blocker with a frowny face or something.

Every time you block an ad, a puppy gets hit by a truck. Is that really what you want?

Technically, I don’t block ads. I block trackers using privacy badger. If they were to just show me ads without trying to track me I’d be fine and they’d get some ad revenue. But they always put trackers in there, I see no ads and they get no money.

Ad creators hate this one weird trick!

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just a heads up, privacy badger effectively doesn’t do anything besides take up resources and make you slightly more fingerprintable as compared to simply using ublock. All of its useful behaviors were culled a few years ago, funny enough, due to fingerprinting. Its blocklist is severely out of date.

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I was aware that they made that change but I didn’t know it made it worse for tracker blocking. I don’t see ads and I don’t get the external discussions such as discus so it seems to work.

I’ll check it out.

If that is really what you want, can we interest you in our special premium membership with curated run-over-puppies content?

I love puppies but I hate ads, sorry rover

And the instructions are always wrong... I'm not using AdBlock Plus, and they forget to include how to disable the PiHole 😂
