| 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. |

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

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

| ▲ | a012 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | Their adblock shamming overlay is also blocking part of the screen (on mobile) by the way | | |
| ▲ | prmoustache 19 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Don't see that overlay on fennec + adblock, what are you using? | |
| ▲ | kachapopopow 20 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | 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. |

| 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. |

| ▲ | lawn 20 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I did not get this on Firefox mobile using uBlock and JavaScript disabled. | |
| ▲ | prmoustache 19 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | no overlay here on fennec + ublock. Reader mode also available but not even needed. | |
| ▲ | kachapopopow 20 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | interesting, on brave such popup never came up. | | |
| ▲ | wafflemaker 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Brave is automatically using some list to disable "cookie banners". The kind of thing that you need to manually turn on in uBlock. |
