+1 for adblock and no-script, along with ghostery to get the rest.
Its not safe to browse the web without them anymore.
I would never support a game that forced me to disable them.
I'd suspect it of trying to get malware into my system. Suggest not playing that game 🤣 .

You're absolutely right. Legitimate ad networks, including Google, have been abused to spread viruses.

My mother most likely got Cryptowall from ads. She had no backup and lost all the data.

Yeah you may want to rethink that reliance on AdBlock:

ABP has an optional whitelist. Yeah, big deal.

And they only whitelist non animated non flash ads if you choose to allow it. Not a big deal.

I first came to ABP, but now I choose AdBlock from https://getadblock.com because it blocks all ads by default.

I just uncheck the "allow some non-intrusive advertising" checkbox in the filter preferences for ABP. I still use it instead of ABE because ABE doesn't get rid of the ad boxes on DeviantArt.

Now is this the battle of the adblockers?

The adblocker I could really recommend to you is {AdBlock}.

The last post was a week ago, so I don't know what gave you that idea. Was there a spam post that was deleted..?

Yes, you have mentioned that several times now. Also, I have no idea why you keep writing it as {AdBlock}.

Actually, I have been hearing more and more about uBlock (or µBlock) lately.

There are adboxes there?

Internet? What's that?!

I just mean the placeholder boxes where the ads would show up, if they were loaded in the first place.

I was just asking why are we going kind of fighting with our choices (ABE, uBlock, ABP, etc...)...

As I said in the top post on page 1, I will refer to AdBlock from getadblock.com as {AdBlock} with brackets, since if it is used without brackets, it will refer to both {AdBlock} and ABP.

The ABP team has negative comments against that.

*ABP is an abbreviation for Adblock Plus.

Wasn't this discussion finished ?

Well now it is.
