That shouldn't have to be our job.

Browsing the internet without adblock is like having sex with a street prostitute without a condom.

I use a gamefaqs app that doesn't support ads. I refuse to go to this site in a browser.

Yeah this is why I refuse to surf this site without an adblock. What's the point in reporting if they'll just replace them with more malware?

That or hard to report when you have to close the page it was on to get away and it doesn't show up again immediately.

It's straight bullshit they expect us to report these ads, especially as you say when you have to reload anyways. Not our job to make sure this site is malware free.

This is why everyone is leaving for Reddit

bingo

It's one thing to try and be a good samaritan and browse with ads enabled, but these days it's just far too dangerous to do that. You're just asking for ransomware if you browse without an adblocker of some kind

Nobody's mentioned uMatrix yet, that plugin rules, it gives you overwhelmingly granular control over what content you see on a website. Makes general browsing a hassle though, especially for other people using your computer, but it's great if you know how to use it

Really, I'd like to be able to better support some of my favorite content creators, but it's just too dangerous to surf the net without an adblocker, these days. They're just as essential as popup blockers were in the early 2000's.
