Does not just block but actively annoy advertisers
I've not heard of this project, but it seems quite old at this point. Does this even still have any impact on advertisers anymore? I'd imagine that this would be something that is quite arbitrary to detect and account for, in terms of their ability to track users.
Seriously, probably been 20 years since I've seen an unwanted/obtrusive pop up
Popup blocking predates adblocking - browsers straight-up ignored that function in Javascript.
This was the sort of simple fix that was possible before an ad giant had a monopoly on the browser market.
*20 years of being an idiot and not using an adblocker.
Haven't seen an ad for a while. But wasn't livejasmin on a certain class of site? Not that I'd know anything about that or anything...
Livejasmin is a "certain class of site".
PORN! It's porn.
Jasmines in a nursing home now.
Proud hungarian invention... but they solf it off. The guy who owned it was literally some politician.
Who the hell even uses that site anymore?
Did anyone ever use it??
