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.
99% of the time, unless there’s something I’m convinced I can only get there and I really need it.
First check the archive sites.
It’s not an improvement over the previous meme but I take any chance I get to post this image
I hit the X
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.
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.)
If you’re using uBO, then you don’t need NoScript. uBO is a media blocker, not an ad blocker, so it is capable of blocking JavaScript per site or globally.
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.
Ublock > block element
I’m disappointed with this spiteful crowd that literally gives the least helpful answer you specifically asked not to receive.
Just click on uBlock Origin and disable scripts for that website, then reload.
A lot of the tips down here (reader mode, archive, NoScript) di just that but with other tools.
This works on desktop on any browser and on Android using Firefox/Fennec.If that doesn’t work, click on uBlock Origin, then on the lightning bolt, then on the pop-up, to delete it.
You may need to repeat these steps a few times until it’s gone.I guess rethinking the browser metaphor could help.
Like who tells you that ads couldnt just be displayed on an invisible popup window? Or a second screen?
Those sites generally detect if you dont load certain content. So I guess cosmetic filtering (downloading but not displaying) could already help
Right, uBlock Origin does have a cosmetic filtering-only option, as well!
I would recommend against it, for your privacy.
I like this idea. It reminds me (a little) of adnauseam.
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.
Block third party scripts and third party frames.
Works wonders every time.
I avoid the site.
Yeah I literally just close the tab. Same if anything comes up with a paywall or login or weird capcha thing. Just like “ah fuck this” and move on lol.
I like to open them in either its own browser or a virtual machines browser. One that wipes it’s cache/tracking/etc each time you exit. Its not great but at least it sandboxes it a bit in an area not connected to any of my other data
Search for the headline on a search engine and read the article elsewhere. Usually these news sites just copy and paste the article and slap a different website name on it.
On iOS, Wipr 2 blocks ads AND overrides “disable your adblocker” things (and autoplaying videos, cookie shit, and tons of other stuff)
Go to uBO’s dashboard, disable scripts, reload. Or just set browser to Reader Mode. Somehow, works over 75% of the time.
