Gumbo72203 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Not sure what or where or how to note this, but for the first time that I can recall, I'm not allowed to use my ad blocker on the site here. Is that normal or a new thing? It's definitely never asked me to turn it off for years, and it won't let me access the site now unless i do that. Anybody?

Zick Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 You mean you don't like in-post ads or when an ad pushes content down the page after it's finished loading and you click on something entirely different?

scottheisel Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Same thing here, though I'm also using DuckDuckGo and Ghostery, and those still keep ads away even after I've whitelisted the site in ABP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Ya'll need to switch to Brave Browser https://brave.com/download/ I made the switch last year for this stupid site alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I already alerted Danny about this. We shall see what develops. Ads are out of control and it's honestly making me not wanting to come here let alone do my admin stuffs b/c the ads get so cumbersome. Esp. on mobile.

drawcody Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 If they don’t remove the ad blocker, I guess I’ll have to stop using VC. I have a whole network at blocker installed on my router. I had to disable it to come here and post this. This is how websites die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH. Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Yeah when virtually all forums have been killed by Reddit/Discord/Facebook/etc. it's a huge unforced error to put an immovable adblocker-blocker on a website that actually still has users. Very stupid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 y'all, @satoshiis right. Switch to brave. It looks like chrome, you can use chrome extensions, and it automatically blocks pop up's but isn't detectible. Switched from Chrome last week. the iPhone version is great too.

angryalan Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Is anyone else getting the giant "AD BLOCKER DETECTED" pop-up on screen here asking to disable ad blockers? This site is terrible to navigate without an adblocker present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
