it's cute when websites think I would turn off my ad blocker rather than just leaving the page

@retr0id The harder you try to stop me from adblocking the more annoyed I get.

Fixing the adblocker is my first choice rather than leaving. I haven't had to go to the extreme of "shove the entire browser in a VM that I access over VNC, then blit a black rectangle over the would-be ad", but I will always win.

Just a question of how annoyed I get.

@azonenberg @retr0id You too huh? I have gone to silly extremes since 1999 when I wrote my own (Ad Extinguisher.)

@azonenberg @retr0id Your black rectangle thing is actually a good idea for an "ultimate solution" adblocker to deal with aggressive countermeasures.
