Amazing, already seen this exact image cropped to the same pixel doing the rounds under someone else's name. Didn't think that was a thing over here.

@rgarner If you like my ad blocker, you are sure to love my overlay remover.

Self-fulfilling prophecy incoming!

@rgarner I'm not anti-ad, I'm anti-seizure-inducing-clickbait

@rgarner Another thing I hate about the independent is that if I follow a link to an English news, always locates me in Spain, which I am, and opens me the Spanish version of the front page and I can't read the thing I wanted, I have to manually select the English version and then I can go to the thing I was trying to read first.

@rgarner Need an ad-blocker blocker blocker.

@rgarner that's funny

@rgarner

🤣

@rgarner Sounds like your adblocker needs an update.

@rgarner Oh, the irony! 😂

@rgarner Story of my effing life, this.

@rgarner You know, I wouldn't mind the adverts so much and turn off the ad blocker as I realise the websites need to earn to stay up.
BUT I will never do so as long as they allow adverts to run trackers to follow my browsing across the web.
Yes you can show me ads
No you don't get to invade my privacy.

@rgarner That's the best one I've seen for several years. A while ago I clicked on an article about Oxycontin addiction, and got a pop-up ad for "Buy Oxycontin Online."

@rgarner hmmmmmmm
