I asked for help with an issue; it turns out, some websites just won't load properly (even gmail), with some adblock software running. So, I had to turn off certain ones for certain sites and everything went back to normal. Thank you all so much for helping me, I am serious. I needed an outside perspective. Thank you!

I've been using AdGuard, no issues so far.

Used to use UBO, had no issues with it until Chrome decided to block it, now using Firefox and AdNauseum to throw off their data quite a bit..

If I do end up watching this show, it's going to be because of these comics.

I was gunna, but I don't wanna get invested in something they stopped making after like one or two seasons
CallaDeKay
With what they were given, they made the last season - which was like 3-4 hour long episodes - count as best they could. I would've liked to have seen more, but they ended it well all things considered.
ebonyfaery
Oh okay! Didn't know this. Thanks, I'm actually gonna check if out now!
CallaDeKay
You're welcome! Enjoy! ^_^

wait gmail doesn't load properly with ad blockers?
*checks*
works for me
LincLoud
"some adblock software"
DignamWhenAskedaQuestion
it might also be your location ? or browser ?
LincLoud
I fixed it, but thank you. I appreciate the assistance
TheMoonBnuuy
see, there's different ways that can be read... "with some adblock software running" can mean "an amount" or it can mean "with certain adblock software" but generally speaking people try to avoid ambiguity, like "some" unles the ambiguity isn't the point. So in this case since "some" is an ambiguous word in this instance, "some adblock software" reads (to me anyway) as basically "if you have ad block software, it won't load"
LincLoud
In the future, I will either try to be less ambiguous or, knowing me, just hate myself for my many, many mistakes and continue to make them
TheMoonBnuuy
no need to hate yourself, I was just letting you know how i read it and why
LincLoud
Don't worry about it, I hated myself WAY before I made a single writing error
Uprightcerebralyacht
It's the worst, right? I do the same thing and then obsess about those mistakes for years. Oh I will. I've even called some people and be all "Hey remember when I did such and such about 20 years back?" And they inform me that they don't remember it at all because it wasn't a problem.
But I got a good chuckle when I read "A rich man says to another guy, 'I'll give you $50,000 but your worst enemy will get $100,000.' The guy grins and replies 'That's fantastic! I could use $150,000!' "

The 2 adblockers you mentioned aren't great. Try ublock Origin. They don't sell your data either.
StuartWells
I started using Brave which has built in adblocking to get around the sites which are now stopping the adblockers.
TheMoonBnuuy
That's the one I use too
LincLoud
Thank you, I will keep that in mind. I will probably have to switch, a lot of people recommend ublock origin
TheFastpaws
I work in IT and run it daily. It just works.

It's not JUST an adblocker. It's a full-on content filter. I use it to force YouTube to hide shorts and playables permanently, as well as forcing it to show a specific number of videos per line on the home page. You can also hide annoying elements from websites that aren't ads, like if there's a particularly awful banner or something.
magicrhombus
Yeah I blocked the "use new design" button on imgur since I accidentally clicked it once.
Imustntrunaway
At the moment, ublock origin is king in terms of adblockers, the team behind it is constantly at work keeping it running. Mozilla on all devices, with ublock origin running is probably the simplest and most effective combo for everyone. As a general rule I'm not recommending chrome to anyone anymore on account of how it's hamstrung adblockers on desktop as well as outright lying to users saying one can't run an extension like an adblocker on mobile (you 100% can.)
CycloneSP
yeah, I gave up on chrome a while ago. currently using thorium, cuz I liked the old chrome UI (before it changed for the thousandth time)
PaperinoVB
Couple it with AdGuard DNS and your sailing will be still smoother. Plain DNS: 94.140">4.14">94.140.14.14 and 94.140.15.15 (there are other options, though: DNS over HTTPS/TLS/QUIC, crypt, ipv6, non filtering, with and without parental control...)
LincLoud
Yeah, I don't use chrome at all

Ad nauseum uses Ublock's program, does everything Ublock does, but it shadow clicks the ads and waists the ad company's revenue.

I came to post exactly this. https://media3.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1Z2hwbGoxeWwxdGN3eWVibng1YWtuejZrMDUzbHFmMTQ2cGI3djE3dCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/pSV1DhrKYcyiY/200w.webp

Hi, web developer here. Browsers track whether a click was generated by actual user interaction or a script, and will pass that information on to whatever click handler the ad company wrote. In other words, you can trivially detect those things.
sherlockhooves
Sorry might need to dumb that down for me

TLDR: Ad nauseam's tricks are easy for ad companies to spot, so it's not actually wasting them revenue.
