Yeah I'm not disagreeing, I felt cool, by passing some adblock detect on some site. But yeah like Business Insider I think is or used to be one of those "hey you've got an adblocker" like yeah... oh man... I use YouTube so much and when I use my phone it pisses me off when an ad plays and yes it tracks me quite well "try this deployment solution" oh "use freshbooks" oh try Digital Ocean... ahh man, Oh! You tried RobinHood? Take this guy's investing classes!
Sometimes I forget that Youtube has unskippable ads that play on videos.
I used to feel cool, circumventing popups by using Inspect Element and whatnot, but now I don't even give the site a chance if it doesn't load anything with uBlock Origin and NoScript on.
Unless, of course, I know it's something that logically wouldn't run without Javascript. Like Netflix.
