Ad blocker wars

[kallend 2,118]

So Forbes insists I see their ads even though I clearly don't want to. If I wanted to see their ads I wouldn't have installed an ad blocker in the first place. I guess I just won't read anything on Forbes any more.

Must be some genius with an MBA who decided that was a good idea.

Hmmm...looks like ad-blockers need to get more sophisticated in order to spoof the site into thinking you are looking at their garbage.

Just modify your (presumably google news) settings so your news feeder doesn't give you anything from their site.

Interestingly, the MOAB hosts based adblocker I installed on my phone isn't detected by their software, but I don't see any ads on their site, either. My paranoid web browser setup (adblocker, scriptblocker and ghostery) shows me an empty page when I go to their site.

I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Do you have a paid subscription?

LoL!!! The philosophy goes along the lines of "free healthcare."

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
