or covering up the content after a few seconds with a transparent layer and a popup forcing registration. It's 2016, all browsers let me right click, inspect the dom, and delete any nodes I choose. Bam, Transparent layer, gone! Bam, forced registration form, gone! It's actually quite satisfying.

can you eli5 this for me?
i have seen mentionof disabling certain elements of a page. is this the same type of thing? Is it really as simple as finding something called "registrationpopup.whatever" and disabling it? is there a checkbox to disable it?
with those type sites ive just been putting the URL into archive.is, so thats another option too.
That's fine. The problem is that these companies do nothing to screen the ads on their sites.

I know what you mean. Unfortunately, There's way too many sites that have malware and/or load slower that crap. These sites ruin it for everyone.

The day before Forbes implemented that I decided I liked them and disable Adblock on their site.

Wish there was a way to block it from all my searches with adding "-Forbes" to every search. Doesn't seem like it would be a hard app to write.

Looks like Anti-Adblock Killer takes care of it. Still a retarded thing to do though. Some of us use Adblock to avoid getting malware.

Hey, thanks for that mention. I found their main page at: https://reek.github.io/anti-adblock-killer/ and there you can just subscribe to their anti-adblock filter list.

If Anti-Adblock Killer doesn't take care of it, FuckFuckAdblock probably will.

That's what started me using ad block. I just saw banner ads as something that came with the internet, but when watching a video I couldn't stop an ad from restarting and playing audio at the bottom of the page I desired to look into that adblock thing.

Usually there's a way to pick the element and block the interfering popup IIRC. I've done it before.

Anything that has a delay pop-up JS thing asking me to subscribe, log in, join, talk, engage, anything. Soon as it appears I'm out of there. Really really gets on my nerves.
