A sign of things to come concering ad blockers?

[tnffuser]

Guess I will have to get used to seeing ads again!
Using uBlock and FF54.0.1.
I visit two news aggregators, Lucianne.com and Drudgereport.com.
In the last week both have become problematic concerning ads.
Lucianne.com ads show regardless (may be a setting to stop but I am not that knowledgeable).
Drudgereport.com will not load and a dialog appears saying to turn off ad blockers.

As previously happened with Drudge, if I allow '8m5sew59gr.bid' it will load sans ads, for today at least.

This cat-and-mouse game is nothing new, it's been like this since forever.

If you're using EasyList to block ads, you can report these problems at https://forums.lanik.us/.

For lucianne see https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=37043

and gorhill resolved it for you.

for lucianne
taboola and lanistaads.com are complete blocked - page load increases dramatically.

There are 10s of 1000s of filters in EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe's, etc., all maintained by volunteers on their free time.

How do you suppose all these filters were created in the first place by these volunteers?

Answer: people reported to the maintainers that ads were not being blocked on specific sites. Maintainers investigated then created filters to address the issue.

If you don't report to maintainers, they won't know there are filters to be created for a specific site.

Had no problem viewing or opening links in the drudgereport when using the link through Google this morning.
NoScript was in full force, cookies not allowed and no visible ads.
On that note the people at NoSCript noted . . .Initiated preference migration via embedded WebExtension

Raining Chaff again?

Lucie, you got to splain chaff?

[mightyglydd]

Why, you block search engines too .. clue.. made of tinfoil..

[Grumpus]

I know real chaff it's how it applies to my post that needs explaining.
Seems to me if NoScript is at least recognizing a possibility it's in the line of the thread.
Then again I could be a whiny pillock like some others I've been reading , none of whom have Firefox or SeaMonkey in the UAS.

Moving to FF General since this is not a support issue.

Isn't there an ad-blocker-blocker blocker?

[marty60]

Twitchy is a site that will no longer work if there are adblockers. It's ok with javascript off but with it turned on it re-directs to a page that says "You are seeing this page because ads cannot be shown". Updated the filters today so I'll try and report it to the maintainers but we can probably expect more sites to be doing this.

[mightyglydd]

This...http://twitchy.com/ ?
WFM with default uBlock Origin + Fanboy's Social Blocking list.
(no other 'blocking' crud)

[marty60]

@mightyglydd, thanks for the heads up. The only filters I had checked were Easylist, EasyPrivacy, and Peter Lowe's Ad and tracking since that seems to catch most everything. So I tried some other filters except what worked was adding uBlockfilters, Fanboy's Social Blocking list wasn't needed.

@marty60, is it twitchy.dom? Went to the website loaded just fine for me with Ublock Orgin on the latest Nightly build 07-29-2017.
