Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette

And this is exactly why Google did away with Manifest v2 (what uBlock runs on) and why they wanted to introduce their “web integrity” standard. At that point the pages would be signed with ads and in the signature didn’t match the page wouldn’t even be shown.

They tried to play it off as “ensuring that you truly get the correct copy of the page and no bad hackers have intercepted it” but really it would have 100% forced ads.

Then I guess I’m not looking at those pages. No skin of my nose. That said, Firefox with Ublock Origin plus a couple of ad-blockers seems to be working pretty well for me. Anything with a paywall, I just move on.

    Exactly. I’ll go back to browsing the web with Lynx before I accept ads. If it breaks, it breaks…

    I use Mullvad’s VPN and DNS on a router level. Every device on my network is blanketed by it. Some services don’t work, but I am willing to sacrifice their profits for my integrity. Thus, to them I say 然らば fuckmothers.

To think that Google once had ads that I considered OK, just a bunch of text and links. How times have changed…

  Advertisers will always keep pushing things trying to find the limit where people will just barely tolerate it. Then when they push it too far they cry “no fair!” When people stop putting up with it.
