Careful there, I was almost able to see some parts of the article through the ads

Came to say something about the ads too. Ended up not even reading the article it was so bad.

It feels surprising that there's people on hackernews without adblock considering that adblock is not just for blocking ads, but also malware, illegal tracking and blocking annoying and useless banners.

Totally agree. Every time I see someone complaining about ads, I think "What ads?"

Well I run an ad blocker too, but maybe we should try browsing submitted URLs without blocking ads and only upvote them IF we can still read them like that.

Their adblock shamming overlay is also blocking part of the screen (on mobile) by the way

My browser automatically blocked something that's triggering an overlay to "Disable any DNS / Extension Based AdBlocker to Continue" with no option to dismiss.

So the people on Hackernews with adblock aren't reading this.

brave seems to have some special sauce since it appears to be able to hide the fact that ads were removed. I am guessing they are doing so without triggering dom events.

interesting, on brave such popup never came up.

I did not get this on Firefox mobile using uBlock and JavaScript disabled.

HN has many ad-apologists. It's more ironic than surprising that there's complaints.

I was able to read it perfectly while using uBlock.

Don't see that overlay on fennec + adblock, what are you using?
13. prmoustache ◴[08 Dec 25 16:48 UTC] No.46194524{3}[source]▶
no overlay here on fennec + ublock.

Reader mode also available but not even needed.

I take a similar approach, but with noscript. If you cannot read it without enabling js, then I won't read the article.

Brave is automatically using some list to disable "cookie banners". The kind of thing that you need to manually turn on in uBlock.

I use an app called harmonic to browse HN, if I open a link externally Firefox for android opens it with ublock installed. But the first glance of the article I get is with the default web view.

And a lot of places have ads that are okay. I mean I still dislike them, but they don't block half the page as in this instance. And when I see that I won't even bother to open it in Firefox.
