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.
If they deserve it (e.g. 404media) I’ll drop it. Else it’s abandoned.
You close the tab, and block the domain completely
The back button
I close the tab.
I create a ublock filter. Out of interest, what exotic media are you trying to find specifically that requires using those sites?
I use uMatrix (uBlock’s big brother), so sites that do this generally lose first-party JS privileges real fast.
YouTube I have been able to clear cache and start the free trial again.
deleted by creator
I avoid the site.
Yeah 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.
I usually try searching for alternatives via Yandex
It’s not an improvement over the previous meme but I take any chance I get to post this image
It’s such the best meme, and a thing that so many people need to see at every opportunity so keep posting it.
99% of the time, unless there’s something I’m convinced I can only get there and I really need it.
Ublock > block element
I handle them by realising that whatever they have, it’s not worth disabling the blocker for, so fuck them.
I get my Spanish Latin media 🏴☠️ from many sites like that.
Not always an option to just go elsewhere.
Usually, I’m on mobile, so either reader mode or Hide Distracting Items.
The rest of the time, I just find another source.
With more adblock (filter lists).
Report it on ublock origins github, gets fixed pretty quickly from my experience
yeah i’ve never seen a nag i couldn’t get around with element picker or custom filter. even the youtube injected ads only lasted a few days.
