I did it on Monkeytype, there is even toggle to disable ads if you don’t have adblocker, but i went for a sellout option.

    I disable it for very few sites. These sites provide nice and free niche content but don’t show any ads. I just disable so that the tracking works for sure, to motivate them continue running the site.

    Once upon a time, long ago, I did it for reddit but they burnt that good will to the ground. Give a corporation an inch and they’ll take as many miles as they can before someone stops them: I block everything now and if it won’t load then I don’t bother with it. If it’s really important I’ll still find a way to view it but never again will I allow ads anywhere I can help it. Advertisements are a very serious threat to security and privacy. Malware and scams are routine in ads, even ads from known corporations that are supposedly safe, like Google.

    Not for a well made one, but one I made.

    I was testing some shitty PHP code and turned off adnausem just incase it was messing with my shitty PHP code. But I should have known my shitty PHP code was broken and it wasn’t adnausem.

      Yes, and also Phoronix, LWN.net, GamingOnLinux, Hack-a-day, and a few others that give me good, content. It’s the least I can do.

      This is the way. But I won’t disable ublock when the website tells me to or breaks intentionally.

    Rules to unblock:

    Visit site, non obnoxious pops that says please unblock and allowed me to continue anyway. After I continue without unblocking, it has reasonable, clean ads in the margins, not distributed throughout the content.

    I will them permanently unblock them.

    I was thinking of disabling it for Ecosia.
    They are committed to not exploiting my data and using profits for tree planting.

    I always end up disabling it on banking and .gov websites, just because I’ve run into issues where uBlock has broken those kinds of poorly made websites pretty often.

    I disabled adblock for a forum I use. Some time after that, the owner independently decided to disable adverts for supporting members, so now it looks pretty much the same.

    I’m ok with static ads. Targeted advertising gets a block from me.

      Yeah, it is a safety tool.

      I could disable it for a site that doesn’t have anything to block, but then leaving it on has no downsides. Like I don’t really need it for lemmy when zero things are blocked, but why turn it off when there is always the possibility that an instance could be hacked?

    If ads went back to a static image I would turn off my adblocker.

    But, most sites are just too annoying without an adblocker. If a site will not function with an adblocker I leave the site.

    Sadly, the problem with SaaS and online software…: just cause it’s great today doesn’t mean it won’t turn to shit in tomorrow. Blocking ads is just a small part of the kind of nefarious things that may be done.

    So to answer your question, no.
