"adblockers interfere with the intended operation of our site" sounds like a personal problem buddy
@roxy nah its fine. great way to signal that their site is doing shady BS.
@roxy 100% agree, I'm glad that Edge Reading Mode obliterates those whiney pop-ups and lets me read in peace. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds wait, Edge now has it too? Didn't know that  

Been using the reader mode in firefox (desktop AND mobile) for almost every website that want's me to enable cookies.

@SteffoSpieler
Edge has had that for a while...A few years in fact. They've done a better job than Google on that front.

@roxy yeah...

@roxy Has anyone noticed that websites are adding anti-adblock features? Like, uBlock Origin gets around them but on iPhone, with only Adguard DNS, a bunch of websites that didn't before are telling me to disable adblocking. With literally no way around it (except reader mode).
@lunardroid @roxy It's the main reason I use firefox nightly on my phone

The other reason is it's the only one that can also use the shinigami eyes extension. I am not very up -to-date on iphone apps, but it may be just as accurate to say that for Android as it is accurate for iOS

@roxy Sounds like "mimimi" ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@roxy this is up there with "try our app for a better experience!"

And I'm just like... you DESIGNED this website, if you know it's shit, why aren't you fixing it???

@roxy So true lol. I like my adblocker.
@roxy Yeah. To me, that absolutely reads as the site admitting they're so deeply entangled in collecting data to sell that they aren't worth trusting with any data at all.
@roxy Yeah, well, your ads interfere with the intended operation of my browser. And my mind.
@roxy me to those sites: sound's like a you problem than a me problem.
@roxy ouchie bad websites are bad... lets just leave them and never use them again
@roxy literal skill issue
@roxy Yeah it sounds like a huge red flag and makes me back away from the site in question pretty damn quick.

@roxy if your website runs in netsurf it's a good website
@koyu I'm looking this up and my website may not run in it just because it enforces TLS 1.2 connections lmao

@roxy "our site" is meant to be read and I can't if the stupid ads didn't block the actual content.

I get it, ad revenue keeps the sites free and journalists paid (everyone deserves to get paid) But if the ads block the information, its useless. I would stop using my adblocker if they stopped using the darn ads that blocked everything.
