Screw this imgur, I'm using adblock on here from now on.
EDIT: @sarah has reached out and informed me that the imgur staff is working on it, and that they do not allow ads with sound! all hail @sarah!

I have AdBlock and AdBlock Plus, I know I'm not supposed to double wrap but it keeps me safe.
BishlamekGurpgork
I used to have adblock turned off. But then I got a malicious site warning about one of the ads.
MemesNDreams16
Oh the irony
Khaylain
You should also use a Script-blocker like uMatrix or NoScript to make sure you have control over who can execute in your browser, and you /?
Khaylain
/2 get to control who can track you on sites. I'm only allowing as much as is needed for the site to function, and keep everything else off.

Ads are fine as long as they are safe and non intrusive
Selerox
I'd agree up to a point. But the problem is that ads are either one, the other or both of those options.
tiikuri
Annoying ads are the reason adblockers exist. If they would've stuck with ads with no movement and no sound, there might not be ad blockers.
llamasaylol
Report any bad ads. Ads on Imgur are not meant to play sound, redirect you without consent, etc.
TheBreadlord
They actually don't. Report the ad. Although I don't understand why they don't just change to an ad provider that does their job correctly.
Sandepants
Mobile users should check out Adguard, you can't get it from the iOS or Google store but only from there website but it works really well.
jackbinimbul
This is a thing now? I always use adblock. Fuck ads.
ThisIsNetsu
I want to support imgur by enabling ads, but I also don't want any malware on my system... now what :/
Khaylain
uMatrix or NoScript to disallow scripting unless explicitly allowed by you. It's the safe way to surf the web.
Alfadorfox
I use AdBlock and NoScript everywhere. Kind of a pain when I have to whitelist site scripts I want, but worth it for the lack of viruses.
NoAsBigAsMediumJockButBiggerThanWeeJockJock
You might want to give uMatrix a try. Its like NoScript but you can block basically anything. Needs some time to configure tho
Khaylain
Praise NoScript. It's a glorious thing. Makes everything you do in the browser a lot more secure.
ShadowbanMyAss
Word of advice, always use adblock. The net is like a Nairobi brothel.
marcofossil
True. Also consider HTTPS everywhere and Ghostery. Freedome VPN rocks too.

Don't you think I've tried? But I never found a way to block them across all sites, whereas uBlock does it out of the box.

You can also manually block ads that for some reason still show up, problem solved.

Only Non intrusive ads are they not? What's your problem with them?

Deshfyre
no, Im suggesting people with Low IQ's cant figure out an option that pops up infront of them when they install ad block..
FloodingWaters
no. they explicated that anyone with a double digit IQ should be intelligent enough to figure out the basically user friendly controls.
Pandaphant
Only if you opt in.
SirBraxton
Incorrect. Ads started creeping in on me with Adblock and AdblockPlus. I went with uBlock, nothing :D
TwoVhsCopiesOfGoodfellas
Be warned, adblock and adblock plus are completely separate companies
elfoe
That's because of their acceptable advertisement campaign, which you can disable

I use adblock+ plus on firefox disabled just for easier element hiding helper addon. Much easier to quickly get rid of annoying elements.

mikeatike
And uMatrix for blocking shady JavaScript on sites.
NoAsBigAsMediumJockButBiggerThanWeeJockJock
Any reason you don't just use uMatrix ? It can do everything uBlock does. I switched from Request Policy + NoScript to uMatrix
mikeatike
uMatrix only blocks scripts, so you would still see obnoxious ads, just not video and audio ones. I don't think it would block youtube ads.
mikeatike
However, i might be wrong about this, I should give it a try since I already block scripts from ad networks with a block-by-default policy.
NoAsBigAsMediumJockButBiggerThanWeeJockJock
It can block everything. cookies, css, images, plugins, scripts, xhr, frames and others (which is mainly websocket stuff i believe) >>
NoAsBigAsMediumJockButBiggerThanWeeJockJock
>> I never see ads anywhere, but it needs some time to setup your rules for comfortable surfing to be honest.
AllTheOtherNamesWereTaken1234567
I hear from my 'friend' that uMatrix breaks a lot of porn sites until you basically 'allow all' scripts. Not that I would know >.>
mikeatike
If you need to allow-all to make a site work, it is probably too dangerous to visit. Most major news outlets are the same problem.
NoAsBigAsMediumJockButBiggerThanWeeJockJock
For pornhub you have to allow scripts and "other" from phn">.com">phncdn.com and mcdn3.com inclusive all subdomains. Or so i heard.
mikeatike
In a lot of cases uMatrix will make broken sites work by simply excluding the "pop over" bullshit the site does.
mikeatike
But even on sites where you do need to allow-all (such as sites I use for work), its worth it to have for all the other shitty sites.

I second this, uBlock Origin does good with ads, but Ghostery blocks trackers which follow your behaviour online to sell to advertisers.
cosonfused
Ghostery is owned by an ad company and sells your info of the ads that you block. Privacy Badger is better.

NoScript has saved me from loading tons of dodgy malware not to mention it blocks annoying media that autoloads, makes noise, and hides.

ColoneISanders
. Gonna just leave this here to remind myself later
Khaylain
Make sure to remind yourself later. Actually, if you have time now, you should get them. uMatrix might also be a bit easier to understand.
ColoneISanders
Alas, on my work laptop right now (which I already downloaded Adblock and ABP on long ago but hesitant to add anymore extensions).
NoAsBigAsMediumJockButBiggerThanWeeJockJock
Any reason you don't use uMatrix in FF too ? I used RequestPolicy + NoScript before but then switched to uMatrix on all Browsers.
Khaylain
Not really, I just recently acquired uMatrix, and I'm kinda in love with it. I'm considering using it everywhere, as you do.
SirTr0gl0dyt3
Why is that better?

To add on sirfirenewts comments it's lighter, uses less resources, also gives you more control. uMatrix is also worth looking up (Advanced).

PCMASTERRACE6969
How about adblock? It has the option to disable acceptable ads, and honestly that is better than blocking all ads
SirTr0gl0dyt3
thnx :)
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
You can still turn off even acceptable ads with abp though.
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
also acceptable ads are not the real issue. Problem are ads that are too big, flashing, loud, lead to spam, virues, etc. pages.
FindYourChillMate
2. Is popup and sound ads or webpages that double their bandwidth because of adz
aCartographer
You can disable the whitelist on adblock, I've forgotten what ads even look like, also element hiding helper is the bomb
cfcannon
The element hiding helper is the only reason I still have adblock+ installed. I run it otherwise disabled because Ublock does rest better
WhiterunWarriorProject
Honestly i just use 2 adblocks and ublock origin, why not?
azureraptor
I love to "headshot" annoying web pages with element hiding helper. :D
notimporant
But isn't it only Adblock Plus that does that? Adblock doesn't I thought?
eviscera
Correct. AdBlock and ABP are NOT the same. AdBlock is the good one - it's never failed me.
echonite
Not that I know of. People seem to thing "adblock" refers to ABP, when it really is just the general term for blucking ads.
FindYourChillMate
Tbf acceptable ads is what we should be striving for. Ive got no issues with ads. they allow me to use services for free. What i dislike
jcw99
For me the problem is that it esentially makes ABP the gatekeeper and they have shown in the past to not deserve that roll
Qumefox
The issue is the 'acceptable ads' ABP allows are simply those who pay ABP money to get put on the 'acceptable' list.
FindYourChillMate
Well, they deserve money for providing a service. Are you going to pay them? The only issue would be if they let unacceptable ads through
MoepsDump
No we shouldn't. Ads have to die. Especially ABPs "acceptable ads", they are either hidden (autogenerated affiliate links in blog posts) 1/?
MoepsDump
, ads from companies that paid ABP's extortion fee/bribe or ads by their own advertising companies. Fuck ADP. 2/2
FindYourChillMate
Ok, i hope you enjoy paying for literally every single site on the web then.
drunkenvalley
The problem is that after 20 years of internet I don't trust anyone whose job it is to vet ads. Because they're either malicious or retarded
FindYourChillMate
Because most go through google Adsense. So they physically cant vet their ads. As its done through google.
cfcannon
Agreed. I tried the whitelist/acceptable route but was on CNN when an ad tried to install malware. F that. Total block now on.
