A look at modern news websites. How programmatic ad-tech, huge payloads and hostile architecture destroyed the reading experience.

    I have said it before, and I’ll say it again.

    An adblocker is part on my security suite on my computer.

    Ads can be hijacked to spread malware, and unless the site owner agrees to take both financial and legal liability for the possible dammage caused by their website I will never consider removing my adblocker.

    If they agreed to take on the responsibility, I still wouldn’t remove my adblocker, but I would consider it.

      I mean, even CIA recommends the use of an adblocker for personal cybersecurity. And one or two other US agencies too.

        Ublock origin does a pretty solid job, I’m always mildly horrified when I have to use a browser without it. Is that really what other people see when they browse the web?
