^ easylist had to drop a domain because of a DMCA request.

Inevitable result is that someone now made a blocklist that exclusively contains domains that got removed through DMCAs: https://github.com/paulgb/BarbBlock

Like the gfycat filenames but more compact and poetic.

Party that sent the DMCA spoke up about why they did what they did: https://blog.getadmiral.com/dmca-easylist-adblock-copyright-access-control-admiral-10-things-to-know/

quote:

That domain is part of the DMCA copyright access control platform Admiral provides publishers so they can engage visitors in a transparent way on the value exchange for their copyrighted content, instead of resorting to surprise ad reinsertion
the way some of our competitors advocate but visitors and advertisers dislike.

Okay fine, I won't block ads, I'll just advocate that I transparently, automatically and selectively engage with publishers to avoid surprising my attention span with ad displays and usage metrics that I, the consumer, dislike.

i.e. gently caress off and "reinsert" that bullshit where it came from.

Didn't the old adblock plus have exactly that feature? Where you'd permit some of the less obnoxious ads.

And then the rumours started that advertisers could pay to be added to the list of "safe" ads.

I'd be okay with some ads if they don't animate and don't track me, but since there's no way for me to verify the latter I'll just play it safe.

im guessing android because the ios firefox app doesnt do plugins
:wtc: It's sort of a selling point for Firefox, why isn't this implemented?

It's open source, someone must've wanted a plugin an addon to work badly enough that they'd make their own fork and implement it.

apple doesnt let other browsers use anything other than the inbuilt webkit engine on ios and even then only with the gimped js so no extensions written for firefox could work

:prepop: Now I understand why the adblocker in Safari was newsworthy.

jokes on u i used my mobile and clicked an ad in an increasingly growing per user cost since mobile inventory is much less than desktop

This works best if you never buy the product/service that ad advertised.
