*goes on site looking for free anime to stream*

Site: *popup* we noticed you're using an ad blocker! Please turn it off to continue using our site!

Me, an intellectual: *opens chrome developer tools, finds the HTML for the popup, opens its corresponding CSS and adds display: none; continues watching anime blissfully, without popups and ads*

Who said being a developer wasn't a super power?

Now use something like greasemonkey to do it automaticly for you

Generally speaking, I do pretty much the same BUT when I find a good website that I like, I would always whitelist it on my adblock.

While ads are freaking annoying, they are the source of income for such free services

Use ublock origin. Awesomeness incarnate

Or use Ghostery Chrome Extension. Not only it blocks ads but trackers too.

My partner was trying to buy some pharmaceuticals the other night, from the advice of a qualified consultant, and the site had a block to say that she needed to be registered with a user who registered for pharmaceutical care.

I looked at the product page to add the cart with the message showing and was like.. /wtf/.. she handed me the laptop and I just inspected the Dom and simply removed the div with the overlay class and she was able to add it to cart and pay through the checkout.

Rediculous!

Adblock plus is getting shit.
Use ublock Origin.

@Drastic three comments up, yup :)

Lol. Add css display: none;?
I always click the html click and press "delete" xD
or maybe next time z-index:-1;
or- position:fixed;top:-100vh;

Nice tip, didn't tough about that...
Must check it out...
And btw one or a few adds its OK
But:
Porn ads
Ads that try to install malware
Ads that close the current page...
Those kind of ads are abusive and should be considered malware...

Hint: 9anime is probably the best free site I've ever come across.

blocking adblock blockers

@Goldalex oooh, nice I'll look into it!!

I just get the source for the MP4 to play stuff, it's not too hard.

@jesse-bryant wow! That's ridiculous some of these sites really aren't secure - relying on client-side validation or blocks alone really isn't enough.

@BambuSource lmao, the possibilities are endless. Good call on the delete though didn't think of that!

@aaxa I'll check it out!!

@morefox say that 10 times fast and I'll give you a cookie!!

I once found a site that added a popup as a random HTML tag with a random class in a random position somewhere in another HTML element so that it would require a bit more to spot and block it 🤔
