@sam9669 It's 99¢ though and I would hate the irony of paying for adblock

@AlgoRythm the chrome extension is free. They just ask for donation, if you are interested

@sam9669 Ah, very well. Are there any plans for adblockblockblockblockblockblockblockblockblockblockplusblock? I would hate to download it and have it be useless soon.

@AlgoRythm yeah or better prefer the alternative adplusblockadblockplusblockplusadblockadplusplusblockplusadblock, best and the universal solution

@sam9669 I'm getting a headache, I'll just watch ads...

@AlgoRythm I know, with all the HTML drama going on here and there .... times are tough

@sam9669 Ha

I just stop using the website which tells me to unblock ads. When most important websites like Google and StackOverflow don't do that why should I care about petty websites!

is this an ad

Reminds me of my client long time ago. https://www.devrant.io/rants/443891

I just redirect all requests to domains hosting ads to 1x1 transparent png using my DNS server.

Terminal browsers like Lynx & w3m FTW.

So what if the backend caches the ads and sends them to the client as part of the website instead of loading it from an external source in the browser. Next step: Draw it into a canvas instead of displaying an img or background-image. Next step: Generate a temp link to the ad target.

This would eliminate selectors for the host, image url and href target.

@Forside We would need to use Machine Learning to detect advertising.

I don't get this blocking off ads. If the site is too obnoxious, I don't go there, and otherwise I'm supporting the sites I browse.

It’s Adblock all the way down!

@adammoisa It doesn't work in phone apps. Blocking ads using DNS works everywhere.

Two pronged approach:
Adblock and hosts file.
When a site asks me to disable Adblock, I give them a chance. If the ads yell or occupy an unreasonable amount of real estate, the ad domains get mapped to 127.0.0.1 in hosts.

Well, Google will soon implement their own adblocker into Chrome, blocking all intrusive and irrelevant ads
