Once upon a time, long ago, I did it for reddit but they burnt that good will to the ground. Give a corporation an inch and they’ll take as many miles as they can before someone stops them: I block everything now and if it won’t load then I don’t bother with it. If it’s really important I’ll still find a way to view it but never again will I allow ads anywhere I can help it. Advertisements are a very serious threat to security and privacy. Malware and scams are routine in ads, even ads from known corporations that are supposedly safe, like Google.

I disable it for very few sites. These sites provide nice and free niche content but don’t show any ads. I just disable so that the tracking works for sure, to motivate them continue running the site.

I never disable adblock unless the site isn’t working properly.

I disabled adblock for a forum I use. Some time after that, the owner independently decided to disable adverts for supporting members, so now it looks pretty much the same.

No. I did my time for the many years I’ve endured when adblockers weren’t really much of a thing. So, that meant that I’ve put up with ads until 2006 which meant AdBlock Plus first debuted.

Ads are typically trash, they’re in your face, they’re invasive, they’re prone to have malware in them and it’s just marketing pollution that adds no value except to figure out ways, mostly in obnoxious fashion, to get you to spend money.

I was thinking of disabling it for Ecosia.
They are committed to not exploiting my data and using profits for tree planting.

Not for a well made one, but one I made.

I was testing some shitty PHP code and turned off adnausem just incase it was messing with my shitty PHP code. But I should have known my shitty PHP code was broken and it wasn’t adnausem.

I always end up disabling it on banking and .gov websites, just because I’ve run into issues where uBlock has broken those kinds of poorly made websites pretty often.

Rules to unblock:

Visit site, non obnoxious pops that says please unblock and allowed me to continue anyway. After I continue without unblocking, it has reasonable, clean ads in the margins, not distributed throughout the content.

I will them permanently unblock them.

Sadly, the problem with SaaS and online software…: just cause it’s great today doesn’t mean it won’t turn to shit in tomorrow. Blocking ads is just a small part of the kind of nefarious things that may be done.

So to answer your question, no.

Nexusmods. Don’t want to pay for it so it’s the least I can do.

I’m ok with static ads. Targeted advertising gets a block from me.

Never. It’s a malware vector.
