I know, I know, the wisest thing to do is to abandon them, but today I came across a site that I simply couldn’t bypass because it always blocked me with an extremely stupid “disable your adblock” video, that infuriated me so much… I would 100% migrate to torrents if I didn’t find such unique catalogs on these sites.
On iOS, Wipr 2 blocks ads AND overrides “disable your adblocker” things (and autoplaying videos, cookie shit, and tons of other stuff)
Report it on ublock origins github, gets fixed pretty quickly from my experience
yeah i’ve never seen a nag i couldn’t get around with element picker or custom filter. even the youtube injected ads only lasted a few days.
If I know the information isn’t available anywhere else and I really need it, I use a temporary unrestricted browser profile.
Otherwise, Ctrl+w it is.
Block third party scripts and third party frames.
Works wonders every time.
I try and use the right click>inspect, and just delete stuff and see what happens
Thanks, but what about when a website doesn’t let you do this? More than once I’ve seen websites that literally disable the right mouse click, is there a shortcut for this?
Do not allow the website to replace the contextual menu, that is a browser setting (extensions can change/block it too). F12 is the shortcut to get to the page editor by the way.
In desktop Firefox, Ctrl+Shift+C lets you click on an element and inspect it. Then, just press the Delete key. Page scripts can’t block this. On mobile, you have to rely on adding more filter lists.
I think there’s a shortcut, like if you press alt or ctrl while right clicking, you bypass the block. But im not 100% sure
left shift in firefox iirc.
Ublock should have the delete thing(forget what it call). I usually use that.
The element zapper
F12
Ctrl+Shift+i should bring up the inspection panel. It won’t be for the specific element, but it should have a button to get an element picker.
The back button
If it’s something I really want and using crypt(dot)cc or whatever it is with the captcha like puzzles with the alien like creatures, I disable and make sure to re-enable when done. Otherwise I go away.
For other sites, if I cannot element destroy it and see the content, I’m outta there as fast as a deadbeat who just found out his girlfriend is pregnant.
I create a ublock filter. Out of interest, what exotic media are you trying to find specifically that requires using those sites?
You close the tab, and block the domain completely
Block scripts, using whatever you want to use. I use Brave (queue criticism)
queue criticism
It’s cue.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cue
a signal (such as a word, phrase, or bit of stage business) to a performer to begin a specific speech or action
That last line is your cue to exit the stage.
I assume you were requesting a critique on your comment.
Maybe they were suggesting that those that are criticizing are welcome but should be orderly and take turns?
I think they may be British, and want those who wish to criticize to for a queue
It’s funny that without actually spotting the mistake I just read it as the op expecting multiple criticisms to and basically telling people bringing them to get in line.
If they deserve it (e.g. 404media) I’ll drop it. Else it’s abandoned.
This is the way.
If they’re a shit website, I’m a lot more spiteful and put their content on the way back machine or post it publicly somewhere.
Go to uBO’s dashboard, disable scripts, reload. Or just set browser to Reader Mode. Somehow, works over 75% of the time.
Most the sites that have that ‘feature’ usually have a link that says " Continue without disabling adblock" but if I can’t find that I use the next site in my search.
I go to element picker and then I just delete the thing.
If it doesn’t fix the issue and let me scroll or whatever, then I just leave. If it works, then great.
I’m disappointed with this spiteful crowd that literally gives the least helpful answer you specifically asked not to receive.
Just click on uBlock Origin and disable scripts for that website, then reload.
A lot of the tips down here (reader mode, archive, NoScript) di just that but with other tools.
This works on desktop on any browser and on Android using Firefox/Fennec.If that doesn’t work, click on uBlock Origin, then on the lightning bolt, then on the pop-up, to delete it.
You may need to repeat these steps a few times until it’s gone.
