     @rgarner @byogesh I usually stop using the website when I see this pop up instead of trying to find a way around the ad blocker block.

     I don’t use Firefox but I wonder if its Total Cookie Protection now makes it irrelevant whether ads are turned on for a website. They wouldn’t be able track your across the web.

     @adnan @byogesh but the passive-aggressive attempts to make us do so: "Continue without supporting us"

     @rgarner @byogesh I will never turn off my ad blocker. I am not sorry about it. It isn’t anything specific about a website.

     @adnan @rgarner @byogesh It has been a very long time since cookies where ever used as the one, single, sole method of tracking. Today it’s all about fingerprinting.

     @geomannie @Arletta @rgarner btw properly sanitized pages should look like this. No ads in sight!

     @Arletta @rgarner you need a script blocker like NoScript to block the anti ad-blocker elements.
