Works wonders. Im so ecstatic that i dont have to temp disable my adblocker when searching now. Like forbes was a bad one.

It works for now. Just wait until they make an anti-adblock-killer-defeater.

You've obviously read "Watchbird" by Rober Sheckley Rolleyes
Test everything in a Python shell (iPython, Azure Notebook, etc.)
  • Someone gave you an advice you liked? Test it - maybe the advice was actually bad.
  • Someone gave you an advice you think is bad? Test it before arguing - maybe it was good.
  • You posted a claim that something you did not test works? Be prepared to eat your hat.

Ironically Forbes actually had an issue fairly recently where people were infected with malware from some of the adbanners they had.

Honestly if a site demands my adblocker be turned off I'm just leaving (perhaps after an attempt to reload the page and hit escape before it pops up).

I don't use ad blockers any more, but years ago I got kicked off a Chess site for using one. To this day they send me emails trying to get me to log back in. Of course, I had an insurance company do the same sort of thing. They cancelled my policy because I forgot to pay a bill, and then kept sending me ads for their insurance.

I got a new laptop a few months ago. Less than an hour went by before I had an adblocker plugin. It was such a different internet without one. Every site you look at, there's more ads than there is not-ads. Very disappointing.
