Daily Mail wants your adblocker turned off

[55palfers]

Just had this pop-up on the DM website.

It's never happened before.

Apart from actually disabling Adblock Plus for DM site, is there a work-around please?

Yes. Take yourself out the back and have a stong word with yourself. The Daily Mail, urgh.

I'm using uBlock origin on Chrome and Firefox and I'm not getting any such pop-ups.

AdBlock+ has been pants for ages.

Yep just seen that myself.

Not quite sure how I will keep up with my daily intake of Rachel Riley, Megan Fox and Emily Rajaw… Ratajawas… that one off of blurred lines.

Me too.

It's just started doing it for me as well. It did it a few weeks ago but after refreshing the page a few times it went away.

I too have an ad blocker policy for websites (like the sites do themselves) ; if they won't let me look at the site without disabling my ad blocker then I just don't bother with the site.

It's getting quite common now that a site will detect your adblocker of choice and not show anything until it's disabled. Some site aren't too bad with adverts so it isn't a problem but some sites (crash.net I'm looking at you!) are just so badly put together the ads actually make then unusable.

Isn't there an Ad Blocker Blocker on the market?

I enjoy reading the daily mail at work passes 20 mins, its full of absolute st mind you.

Really annoys me the pop up videos they use.

[geeks]

It's their website they can do as they wish, plenty of sites ask for adblocking removed, if it's something I really need to get at I will disable it then enable it again once the page loads, other than that I will move on.

Turn off Javascript.

The DM poses with the stats from their website. I would assume this demand for adblock removal has come from advertisers one way or the other. Their figures will take a bit of a tumble.

Solution = Brave Browser.

Daily mail reading = inexcusable.

Correct on both counts.

On my PC, I use Brave for reading our local newspaper's website. On my phone, I use Brave for everything.

DM website already getting pretty bad with the autoplay videos which, when you click to close them, take you to the random Sidebar of Shame story behind the video.

You live in a constant state of amazed horror?

That must be rather inconvenient.

Thank goodness you don't have to deal with bouts of exaggerated hyperbole as well.

Seems fine in Firefox. Sidebar of Shame -tastic!
