I know, I know, the wisest thing to do is to abandon them, but today I came across a site that I simply couldn’t bypass because it always blocked me with an extremely stupid “disable your adblock” video, that infuriated me so much… I would 100% migrate to torrents if I didn’t find such unique catalogs on these sites.

    Well, if it’s not something I really want to see, I just close it. If I do want to see it, then:

    • if I’m on my laptop, I open dev tools and remove the element blocking other interaction
    • if I’m on my phone or the above doesn’t work on laptop, I open an anonymous window, disable adblock, read/watch/whatever the content, enable adblock, close anonymous window

    I do and same for other kinds of annoyances, like the recent trend of “pay us or give us consent to mine your data”.
