Adblock Plus

I hope it's by some means that can be defeated by targeted whitelist rules: http://www.wired.com/how-wired-is-going ... -blocking/

this would not be the first time a company blocks ad blockers plus there are thousands of other blogs you can visit

Wired is a good source of original reporting, it's not like Breitbart Tech, IT Pro Portal, or some other better-ignored publication. I'm fine with whitelisting Wired altogether if I need to read its reporting that badly (I actually don't read it much, and I just saw this story on Panda), and I'm even more fine if, as its announcement suggests, its new ad policy basically satisfies the Acceptable Ads criteria; in fact, I was considering nominating Wired myself, but I'm not sure whether that's proper (I'm neither an Eyeo staff member nor a representative of Wired), and of course I'd need to see what ads it actually runs once its anti-adblock measures are in place.

I do not consider outbrain's attempt to disguise ads as links to other legitimate articles to be acceptable ads. Deceptive tactics are never acceptable.

So the question is, how do I block the adblock block? Clickable objects get rid of the popup, but scrolling is still disabled a la the slate one. Anyone find which javascript is responsible?

Wired has begun putting a block when viewing their website with a block active. I'm looking for a filter that will remove that block.

I actually tried this one earlier with no luck. However, I had the whiteout screen blocked already and apparently that was blocking a "thanks for not blocking us" popup that reenabled the scrolling.

Thanks!

This filter is no longer working

This is a decades long game the advertisers CANNOT win.

My right to privacy trumps their profit by privacy rape. There is no contract with the site viewer. Content is placed in the public sphere. If they wish to protect content before payment they can employ a paywall. Why don't they? [Their intellectual dishonesty ensues]

Is one such innovation.
