Generally speaking, I do pretty much the same BUT when I find a good website that I like, I would always whitelist it on my adblock.
While ads are freaking annoying, they are the source of income for such free services -
My partner was trying to buy some pharmaceuticals the other night, from the advice of a qualified consultant, and the site had a block to say that she needed to be registered with a user who registered for pharmaceutical care.
I looked at the product page to add the cart with the message showing and was like.. /wtf/.. she handed me the laptop and I just inspected the Dom and simply removed the div with the overlay class and she was able to add it to cart and pay through the checkout.
Rediculous! -
Lol. Add css display: none;?
I always click the html click and press "delete" xD
or maybe next time z-index:-1;
or- position:fixed;top:-100vh; -
Nice tip, didn't tough about that...
Must check it out...
And btw one or a few adds its OK
But:
Porn ads
Ads that try to install malware
Ads that close the current page...
Those kind of ads are abusive and should be considered malware... -
@jesse-bryant wow! That's ridiculous some of these sites really aren't secure - relying on client-side validation or blocks alone really isn't enough.
-
@BambuSource lmao, the possibilities are endless. Good call on the delete though didn't think of that!

Meta33897yI once found a site that added a popup as a random HTML tag with a random class in a random position somewhere in another HTML element so that it would require a bit more to spot and block it 🤔

*goes on site looking for free anime to stream*
Site: *popup* we noticed you're using an ad blocker! Please turn it off to continue using our site!
Me, an intellectual: *opens chrome developer tools, finds the HTML for the popup, opens its corresponding CSS and adds display: none; continues watching anime blissfully, without popups and ads*
Who said being a developer wasn't a super power?
