If there was a way to run SUPER MEGA AD BLOCKER on this website I fucking would
âPlease oh please open up your computer to a porn virus! If you donât youâre evil!â
Freeloader Cominâ through!
We didnât start this war internet users have with ads - We might have moaned about banner ads, but it was only when they started making noises when we might be listening to music or a podcast or whatever, causing two sound sorces at once, that we started trying to block ads universally rather than just a specific type of ad (pop ups).
And since then ads have gotten worse - Actual malware rather than merely breaking one of the fundamental sins of web design - though shalt not autoplay anything with sound. And the more aggressive a website is with âplease turn off adblockâ the less I trust it to bother to vet ads and advertisers to make sure theyâre not installing malware.
Not to mention that the idea that avoiding ads is âfreeloadingâ is hilariously backward. Advertisement is a transaction between the platform and the advertiser, the user has no obligation to provide the views/clicks the platform has promised. Using an adblocker isnât freeloading in the same way that leaving the room to get a snack during a commercial break isnât cheating the tv network.
Ok yâall, I work as a web developer and Iâm here to tell you that you are 100% right and that itâs shit. SO Iâm going to tell you how to get around websites that block you from using their website if youâre using an adblocker.Â
Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short itâs a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:
Oh no! Iâm blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select the âinspectâ feature
Click the three dots in the top right and open the âSettingsâ Menu
And then scrolled down to âDebuggerâ and checked the âDisable Javascript Optionâ
And then just refreshed the page
