And this is why I block all ad scripts. Sure, I might want to support the website, but I’m not going to run an unvetted third party’s scripts. Display passive ads and I’ll give them my views. Curate them appropriately and I may even click through.

    You shouldn't feel bad about protecting yourself: Advertisers did this to themselves, blame them. They have been a major attack vector for malware and scams for decades now and they don't give a single fuck about genuinely policing anything.

    I've recently taken to reinstalling NoScript. The web has become too hostile.

    This written by AI or am I crazy?

    Not surprised. Seems any vendor I'm asked to add to our prebid setup is based in Israel.

    Just another reason to block ads.
