Or my favourite passive aggressive attempt by Admiral's anti-ad-blocking "technology":

"Continue without supporting"

enable the "annoyances" filter on ublock origin.

you will be seeing those much less frequently.

I don’t use ublock origin and literally never browse the web from a computer but that sounds like a cool feature for sure

why don't you use it on your phone then, don't subject yourself to ads just because you don't use a computer.

I used AdGuard on my phone

on android i like using adaway (replaces adguard) + ublock origin on the browser. but its good to at least install ublock origin for full blocking in a browser.

What's an ad-blocker popup? uBlock Origin never show me a popup.

I went to cnn to try and didn't have any. I couldn't find the exact article in your screen but I tried a few without any popup.

Did you enable uBO annoyances lists?

I just grabbed that screenshot from a google image search, just to show you what I meant

I use uBO and still sometimes get popups.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Do you have uBO annoyances lists enabled? Because I never get any.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Interesting. Nope. Does it break anything unintentionally, like logins and such?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I've never experienced any breakage.

Popup blockers aren't as satisfying as a browser plugin that adds a "Fuck Off" button to them.

How I sleep after clicking "continue without disabling ad blocker" knowing that pi-hole has my back on any device on my network.
