#AdBlockers are a necessary #ITsecurity measure because #Malvertising is a huge problem!

Because by observation I can claim with confidence that most #JS is unnecessary #bloatware if not #malicious as it's #WastefulComputing and used to #track and #deanonymize users without setting #Cookies!

Ah, the NYT has graced us with another groundbreaking revelation: your #DNA is the latest #gossip columnist for #Neanderthal hookups 😏. But wait, first, ensure #JavaScript is enabled and ad blockers are down, because who wouldn't want some digital nagging while learning about ancient bedroom antics? 🙄🔍

Chrome : une étude prouve que les adblockers sont plus forts que jamais, malgré le Manifest V3

Pendant des années, Google nous a vendu Manifest V3 comme une mise à niveau technique nécessaire… au prix de bloqueurs de publicités moins performants. Une étude académique vient de lui clouer le bec : les adblockers n'ont rien perdu de leur mordant.

#Adblocking is alive and well, despite #Chrome's attempts to make it harder
#Google Chrome's latest revision of its browser extension architecture, known as #ManifestV3 (MV3), was widely expected to make content blocking and #privacy extensions less effective than its predecessor, #ManifestV2 (MV2).
"Our results reveal no statistically significant reduction in ad-blocking or anti-tracking effectiveness for MV3 #adblockers compared to their MV2 counterparts"

This feels new in the war against ad blockers… Sites seemingly intentionally crashing if your ad blocker is not disabled?

Well congratulations you’ve lost me as a visitor to your site ever again.

How-To Geek: YouTube is breaking ad blockers again. “This immediate fix that came when not using an adblocker is a pretty clear signal of what is happening here. YouTube has not officially acknowledged the problem, which is typical for silent updates to anti-adblock detection scripts.”
