Noscript works better.
"Temporarily allow" scripts from forbes.com and forbesimg.com. That's it.

Could have sworn it blocked me with uBlock on. Either way, I haven't used Forbes since they implented that.

I remember (I believe) Admiral mentioning that there was an ad blocker that blocks ads but runs in such a way that a site like Forbes doesn't know that you're blocking the ads. Was that uBlock?

- Go into element hider (uBlock's is better)
- Hide their cheeky little "We detected you're using an adblocker" message (good for you, you're still not getting ad revenue you pieces of shit)
- Browse whatever site freely knowing they'll never get a penny from you

Hmm, haven't heard of Noscript.

its kind of a hassle to get working, but its the great for shutting down a lot of popups and other things you might not want running. Like currently on this website, i see at least 9 scripts running, only one from gamefaqs(if you disable it you can't quote or quickpost)

Go to Google, search for the page, and pick the option to view the cache. The reason why is because these sites' Ad-blockers need to make exceptions for Google-bots if they want their pages to be indexed in Google's search engine or if they want to use Google Analytics.

I know some sites use their own analytics software to get around this, but most are too lazy.

I just don't play that bullshit. You're not gonna spy on me. You ok use my ad blockers, my other protection programs.


Basically, turn off your ad blocker and let your computer get infested and infected by our sponspors' spam, otherwise you cannot participate. I don't give my email phone number to make email either. It sometimes takes ten tries, but there are apps that get past it.

That makes this site's ads look less intolerable. There's been a highly questionable anime ad that they keep forcing on me, though.

Might be Ghostery, though there's a lot of controversy about that one since it makes its money off of actually selling usage/visiting statistical data to companies for the purpose of ... marketing or whatever. So basically they block the ads but they still potentially record your information for the sake of making a buck off of it from the site that they denied revenue to from the blocked ad.

It's probably a long-game to justify a paywall, and/or prop up the collapsing magazine.

Same here, can't blame him. There was this one add with this stupid, loud, naked, blue toad that kept screaming and had a drawn on nub of a penisthat kept popping up on our browsers and that was when I finally installed Adblock. That was years and year ago, but I still remember my hatred for that ad vividly.

I have had adblock for a long while now, but somewhat recently i logged in from a different computer that didn't have adblock. It was crazy to me how slowly the ads were making the site run. How anyone could surf this site without adblock, I don't know
