Gee, I guess people really, really dislike ad block disable requests.
Lesson: rant long enough, and you will hit a common point everyone hates.*
* - that's not the lesson.

Ok, because a repeat thing, it seems.
I am *NOT* interested in anyone's look-I-discovered-this-thing-everyone-else-knew-about to circumvent the adblocker request.
The very intent of whoever designed it already tells me I shouldn't bother with it.
Respect yourself more, people, PLEASE.

Feb 24, 2026, 4:47 AM@faraiwe Loser! On to my Pi-hole. I reserve the right to refuse business with anyone who tries such.

Feb 24, 2026, 9:00 AM@faraiwe Might be worth trying reader mode. Works well for cookie popups (but not always) dunno how good it is for ad blocker popups.

➕1️⃣ on Reader view … or "Inspect Element" then delete the modal overlay 🤷🏻- FaraiwefaraiweFeb 25, 2026, 12:00 AM
@roens OR...crazy idea, I know... don't bother with that website.
The very design already shows it's NOT something you want to patronize, or give your custom to.
Vote with your wallet, and your attention/presence.

@faraiwe
Sure, yeah. Unless I actually do want to *see* what's on the page… that's when I'll use the approaches I offered earlier. If it's some site where I might exchange funds for goods/services, then buh-bye! 
Kevin L., 8647 Please!Thumper1964@mindly.socialFeb 25, 2026, 3:06 PM@faraiwe @flamulous I hate it when I see this. But I guess that means the website in question really doesn’t want me to see whatever they are offering that badly.
plastikanimalplastikanimal@mastodon.socialMar 3, 2026, 3:10 PM@faraiwe is it possible to design something that just sandboxes the ads so they’re open but can’t be seen or do anything?
- FaraiwefaraiweMar 3, 2026, 3:11 PM
@plastikanimal I just use UBlock and a couple other add-ons.
Don't over complicate things. Remember: K.I.S.S.
