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.

    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.

          I have been using those sites since decades ago, so I think I am safe.

    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.

      Yeah I literally just close the tab. Same if anything comes up with a paywall or login or weird capcha thing. Just like “ah fuck this” and move on lol.

    Go to uBO’s dashboard, disable scripts, reload. Or just set browser to Reader Mode. Somehow, works over 75% of the time.

    Many sites work best with NoScript because the anti AdBlock is done by JavaScript.

    (Of course that doesn’t always work, but when it does, great.)

      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.

      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.

    I use uMatrix (uBlock’s big brother), so sites that do this generally lose first-party JS privileges real fast.

    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.
