I know, I know, the wisest thing to do is to abandon them, but today I came across a site that I simply couldn’t bypass because it always blocked me with an extremely stupid “disable your adblock” video, that infuriated me so much… I would 100% migrate to torrents if I didn’t find such unique catalogs on these sites.
shittydwarf ( @shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English171•2 months ago Onomatopoeia ( @Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe ) English14•2 months ago99% of the time, unless there’s something I’m convinced I can only get there and I really need it.
FundMECFS ( @FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English4•2 months agoFirst check the archive sites.
Mac ( @Mac@mander.xyz ) English1•2 months ago
junusdenised420 ( @junusdenised420@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English97•2 months agoReport it on ublock origins github, gets fixed pretty quickly from my experience
Naich ( @Naich@lemmings.world ) English52•2 months agoI handle them by realising that whatever they have, it’s not worth disabling the blocker for, so fuck them.
kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemm.ee ) English4•2 months agoI get my Spanish Latin media 🏴☠️ from many sites like that.
Not always an option to just go elsewhere.
abbadon420 ( @abbadon420@lemm.ee ) English5•2 months agoUnless you really trust that site, I wouldn’t do it. Think “ppp” (prohibit porn- or piratesites), because those sites are the least trustworthy to load javascript.
kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemm.ee ) English1•2 months agoI have been using those sites since decades ago, so I think I am safe.
masterofn001 ( @masterofn001@lemmy.ca ) English44•2 months agoUblock > block element
Nora ( @crazyminner@lemmy.ml ) English32•2 months agoI go to element picker and then I just delete the thing.
If it doesn’t fix the issue and let me scroll or whatever, then I just leave. If it works, then great.
HubertManne ( @HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com ) 30•2 months agoI avoid the site.
Random Dent ( @CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml ) English7•2 months agoYeah I literally just close the tab. Same if anything comes up with a paywall or login or weird capcha thing. Just like “ah fuck this” and move on lol.
Venia Silente ( @veniasilente@lemm.ee ) English22•2 months agoGo to uBO’s dashboard, disable scripts, reload. Or just set browser to Reader Mode. Somehow, works over 75% of the time.
Comexs ( @Comexs@lemmy.zip ) English18•2 months agoMost the sites that have that ‘feature’ usually have a link that says " Continue without disabling adblock" but if I can’t find that I use the next site in my search.
flappy ( @flappy@lemm.ee ) English18•2 months agoWith more adblock (filter lists).
some_guy ( @some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ) 17•2 months agoI close the tab.
orcrist ( @orcrist@lemm.ee ) 15•2 months agoMany sites work best with NoScript because the anti AdBlock is done by JavaScript.
(Of course that doesn’t always work, but when it does, great.)
_cryptagion [he/him] ( @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English5•2 months agoIf you’re using uBO, then you don’t need NoScript. uBO is a media blocker, not an ad blocker, so it is capable of blocking JavaScript per site or globally.
Appoxo ( @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English15•2 months agoIf they deserve it (e.g. 404media) I’ll drop it. Else it’s abandoned.
ByteOnBikes ( @ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net ) English3•2 months agoThis is the way.
If they’re a shit website, I’m a lot more spiteful and put their content on the way back machine or post it publicly somewhere.
Boomkop3 ( @Boomkop3@reddthat.com ) English15•2 months agoYou close the tab, and block the domain completely
valaramech ( @valaramech@fedia.io ) 15•2 months agoI use uMatrix (uBlock’s big brother), so sites that do this generally lose first-party JS privileges real fast.
omxxi ( @omxxi@feddit.org ) English13•2 months ago90% close it, bye 10% try archive.is if it doesn’t work, bye
