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.
99% of the time, unless there’s something I’m convinced I can only get there and I really need it.
First check the archive sites.
It’s not an improvement over the previous meme but I take any chance I get to post this image
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.
I hit the X

If you’re using uBO, then you don’t need NoScript. uBO is a media blocker, not an ad blocker, so it is capable of blocking JavaScript per site or globally.
I handle them by realising that whatever they have, it’s not worth disabling the blocker for, so fuck them.
I get my Spanish Latin media 🏴☠️ from many sites like that.
Not always an option to just go elsewhere.
Unless you really trust that site, I wouldn’t do it. Think “ppp” (prohibit porn- or piratesites), because those sites are the least trustworthy to load javascript.
Ublock > block element
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.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 guess rethinking the browser metaphor could help.
Like who tells you that ads couldnt just be displayed on an invisible popup window? Or a second screen?
Those sites generally detect if you dont load certain content. So I guess cosmetic filtering (downloading but not displaying) could already help
I like this idea. It reminds me (a little) of adnauseam.
Right, uBlock Origin does have a cosmetic filtering-only option, as well!
I would recommend against it, for your privacy.
Block third party scripts and third party frames.
Works wonders every time.
90% close it, bye 10% try archive.is if it doesn’t work, bye
I close the tab.
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.
Go to uBO’s dashboard, disable scripts, reload. Or just set browser to Reader Mode. Somehow, works over 75% of the time.
Well, if it’s not something I really want to see, I just close it. If I do want to see it, then:
- if I’m on my laptop, I open dev tools and remove the element blocking other interaction
- if I’m on my phone or the above doesn’t work on laptop, I open an anonymous window, disable adblock, read/watch/whatever the content, enable adblock, close anonymous window
I do and same for other kinds of annoyances, like the recent trend of “pay us or give us consent to mine your data”.
