“This game you like got a good update” okay cool click
“Disable adblocker” okay thanks for the news; I’ll just search for the official post on the game company’s website.Why do I feel like I’m the only person who uses the Element Zapper tool in uBlock Origin. Just choose the tool and one-click delete any elements you want.
Most of the time the “Adblocker Detected” prompt is an overlay on top of the website, so just zap that out of existence.
In my experience this doesn’t work most of the time. It will remove the pop-up but the page won’t function. I realise it sometimes has an overlay under the pop-up but upon removing that it removes the content I’m trying to view. Not saying it doesn’t work sometimes but it rarely does for me.
Am I just fucked on mobile?
Use Firefox. Add-ons that work for desktop on Firefox also work on mobile.
ff mobile has ublock origin
Not on iOS
Yeah but that’s not FF’s fault.
Cool, so it just means I’m fucked still
Most of the time those articles are bullshit click bait anyway.
Happened to me about 4mins ago
So you started using the internet 5 minutes ago?
Yes, that’s exactly what I meant
Google “fuck fuck Adblock” (yes, fuck twice)
About a year or two ago I’d open up an article blocked by ad blocker and I’d try tweaking my settings a little, thinking if it were easy, I’d use a bit of effort to get to the writing I wanted to read.
I did that for a while with about a 50/50 chance that one setting or just clicking a few things and I could get to the copy.
Now I don’t really care … there’s a million things to read on the internet … if I see a site and it even throws up a challenge, an extra click or ad blocker has affected it … I don’t even bother, just close it, forget it and move on.
Or if you don’t have an ad blocker running and the site expects you to try to read through a little 1 inch peephole in between the ads. I just write the site off entirely.
It also makes you wonder … what monster thought that was a good design.
Also equally disturbing is … that there are actual people out there who put up with all this and read the content through that little peep hole. I know several of my older less tech savvy friends who put up with all that. I also know a few younger tech ignorant friends who just don’t care.

Don’t they store your data?
If you’re using uBlock Origin, bring up the control panel and disable JavaScript for that webpage. Then reload the page. Works on most of these pages for me.
But then I have to look at ads. I think the point OP was trying to make was that they were initially interested enough to click, saw that they would have to view an ad, and are no longer interested because of that.
Disabling JS doesn’t mean disabling uBlock. I run uBlock together with NoScript on Firefox, and that works really well.
