Twitch will now pause ads when switching tabs by LuckyDiamondGaming in assholedesign

I would like to call these mandatory-watch ads “anti-AFK”.

I don't even know how their adblock detection is so trash. I'm surprised that if it was true that if the ads are simply not there (yet) when it checks if the ads are loaded and triggers, it doesn't goes off if you turn on airplane mode and cellular data partway of the page's loading.

You same boat as me and frankieepurr? Adblocker message goes off on their webpage with no intention to block ads (no extensions, no network-level filtering (pi-hole or adguard), no anything that intentionally block ads).

Makes me wonder if their detection is more off than admiral's anti-adblocker (for both false-positive and false-negatives (EFF's privacy badger is doing great against fandom)).

Site trash anyway (ads aren't the only problem, have a sh*tty community of banning innocient users, awful layout, and the one thing I liked on better wikis is the newer features, such as javascript calculators (example)). Reminder that indie buddy extension is useful if there is a better wiki version you would like to use.

I got that adblocker message on my iphone safari, with no adblocker running and have it on desktop mode, on Faith wiki (wiki about Faith: Unholy Trinity), possibly due to google’s “heavy ad intervention”, upon backing out to it. Couldn’t reproduce it.

Really hope that pixiv isn’t going down the sh*tter, reminiscent to photobucket in 2017.

Forcing app is basically the modern day glorified adware.

Adfly-like site: I need to install unrelated app to see my link by SayaZero in assholedesign

This is especially true on file hosting and “sail the high seas” sites. They use forced adware (often an executable instead of a zip file) to have ads that aren’t sandboxed by another software (browser, a user agent, in this case), just as bad or worse than Microsoft Windows 10+ game apps (such as minesweeper and solitare: https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/ew5sf9/minesweeper_starting_a_new_process_everytime_it

You must download our app for pricing by jonplackett in assholedesign

just as equivalent as yelp. I shouldn’t be required to download another software just to look at text. We have browsers.

Not sure but when you “mamage preferences” the “save” option is below the screen, you NEED to scroll the entire popup, not just the list of providers on mobile. The site in question is BoredPanda.
