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.
It’s not an improvement over the previous meme but I take any chance I get to post this image
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.
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.
If they deserve it (e.g. 404media) I’ll drop it. Else it’s abandoned.
NoScript
YouTube I have been able to clear cache and start the free trial again.
Block scripts, using whatever you want to use. I use Brave (queue criticism)
If I know the information isn’t available anywhere else and I really need it, I use a temporary unrestricted browser profile.
Otherwise, Ctrl+w it is.
Ublock > block element
Big sites have caught onto this unfortunately, but sometimes switching to reader mode is a quick bypass. Putting the link in archive.is usually works, that’s what I do if it’s urgent local news (eg when my state is flooded or frozen or perhaps on fire)
On iOS, Wipr 2 blocks ads AND overrides “disable your adblocker” things (and autoplaying videos, cookie shit, and tons of other stuff)
