I'd rather they have access to the content than make the few pennies I'd get for showing ads.TOKYO, Dec. If they don't want to enable ads, that's okay. My site theoretically tosses up a request for folks to enable ads, but that's as far as I'll go. But, you can sometimes defeat that by simply not loading scripts at all - but that too can be checked and blocked. Most sites don't put in that much effort.īasically, you add a check to ensure the ads were actually loaded, throw a message if they weren't, and don't load the HTML content unless a UUID confirms that the element was loaded. The data can often still be found - and you can often use a text-based browser to get past it. It is possible to block anything not showing ads with pretty good success rates. Well, it depends on how much effort YouTube is going to put into it. I'm certain that even the nag will be defeated in short order. So, Google is mucking about with the YouTube code again. It just started showing up this evening, as I was catching up on my favorite channels. The uBlock extension may just block the entire element while the second one may not. I'll try disabling the extra one to see if that makes it go away. Though, I do have a second ad-blocker installed from when uBlock failed. Demanded confirmation before it would do anything, and it was less than UBlock Origin and what I thought.īig bright pop-up. Then they had this brilliant idea - NOT! - about seasonal banners. Last year the same site was rapid load, not much different from opening Distrowatch main page. I guess the other site's owners like it that way, and they've even made fun of me complaining about it and about my slow Internet. But if I allow it shown, it takes even more valuable space to read from the page. Unless the browser finishes downloading that, I cannot do anything on the page. Regularly I visit a site which has to download a freakin' banner which is like 1200x200. UBlock cannot do that, on buggy Firefox v115 and later. Especially from an unsafe area forcing excruciating 100KiB/second or slower. In the first few versions of Firefox there was an extension that was able to stop annoying image downloading in its tracks. UBlock Origin has been defeated a long time ago IMHO.
