Work device so I cant install add-ins. Bottom 1/4 of my screen is now permanently white and ads sometimes show up. Not always. Like its pre reserved the space Really annoying.

Also some of the ads I between pages can't be x'd out of anymore. It's just progressively getting worse. -_-

So... quick question, does that church insurance cover child abuse? Asking for a religion.

It's a work device. If he can't install extensions on a browser do you think they'd give him access to mess with DNS routing out of their machine out of their network?

It's not just GameFAQs, either. Depending on the browser, I've been seeing more ad-type content even with uBlockOrigin. On things with scrolling feeds, there is an ever increasing flow of clickbait ads that try and disguise themselves as posts you want to read/click on.

I'm also finding that I'm no longer completely shielded from Youtube ads, which is disturbing.

I had one banner on fucking Wikipedia of all things that say "Sorry, but you only had a 5% chance of seeing this."

It was their banners about keeping the site running and away from big business, but that threw me for a big loop since I was only looking up the Finnish word for "triangle".

Same here, latest iOS. That refresh happens to me also occasionally, never connected that to blocked ads but I guess it does explain them.

Wait until they discover that they can have one halfway up and one at the bottom at the same time.

GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC

If you're not getting promoted, it's not because you're not good at your job. It's because you're good at ONLY your job.

I got that using Brave, which suggests to me that that was a "feature" of the page, not a popup. Doesn't make it any better though.

Twitter also has companies posting ads as tweets bypassing adblockers.

Dont give them ideas. They might even reserve space at the top and then not use it

Seriously ads are getting ridiculous. At this point when I see an add it makes me not want to buy the product. Like even if I wanted it, go out of my way and buy from their competitors.

They are doing the opposite of their purpose at this point. Make me feel hate and disdain for those companies for being annoying dicks.
