Popup Ads When Leaving Pages?

Adblockers make money from advertisers to unblock certain ads.

Better to block ads using host file, blocks all ad servers, not individual ads.

Blocking Unwanted Connections with a Hosts File

Ublock Origin extension also uses the same host file.

i haven't seen anything on my mac with kablock

 

I’ve seen those interstitial pop-up ads, too, and while I realize @Danny has to eat, they are annoying and make the site more difficult to use.

 

Once upon a time, advertisements were also serving up malware to a few users. Though for me, they made a slow internet pipe even slower. And counted against (at that time) my monthly byte cap.

What ever happened to Danny's thoughts on this long-ago idea?

Being an ad-blocking freeloader, who hasn't bought from the PC Shop in many years, I do owe him some other funding.

 

I first adopted an ad-blocker (on my pc) a few years back, when PriusChat ads made the site literally unnavigable.

 

I'm using Brave browser, no ads, no pop ups

 

Hey Jerry, I'm seeing those pop ups on an iPhone, with increasing regularity. Happens when I click on a link to head to another PriusChat page. Using Safari, no AdBlock.

 

Nop. I have not seen any ads on PC pages both on Chrome browser on Chromebook or Firefox browser on Win10. I have AdBlock on Chrome and Adblock Plus on FF. It may be Mac-specific behavior.

 

Don't see them on a Windows 10 PC, using Firefox with Ghostery (ad blocker).

 

Yeah, Brave is great for privacy. I use Brave on my anonymous Win10 box as a default browser and also on my Android phones. I can't use it on Chromebook and I have to use FF on my work Win10 box.

 

Here we go:

 

And anudder:

 

There are already several ads on the pages. Danny adding the interstitial ads will just direct people elsewhere. Dies @Tideland Prius have any insight into this change?

 

Ive been having this issue several years, I ended up blocking all webpages except sites in a list I made.

Somewhat irritating but now I don’t get interstitial ads continuously since everything is blocked

 

Keeping that list synced on multiple devices though would be a challenge.
I regularly use 2 Windows laptops and 2 iOS devices.
