The advertisings on this forum
Hello all,
when I go to this forum, already, I go here as I ever comen : if a popup stops me it is no, it is refuse, it is do not consent etc...
I come here to concentrate myself to translate from and to a language which is not my native language.
I come here to concentrate myself to understand the source codes which are freely and thankfully shared.
I come here to thank this sharing, by my own offering, sharing also my codes hoping it helps anybody.
So, for each pages, I am stopped by a popup. This means that the neutrality does not exist anymore.
This is not an ad : this is the question which demands me if I want that the ads are not neutral. And I tap (or click) I refuse the ads are not neutral.
The reason is simple : the ads are deleted before coming to my terminal, since more than ten years.
So, what it passes over this wall is not legal. All simply. So, be careful, because there are changes in France to really stop this. And these changes won't be thin.
If I want to see a mosaic of 9 photos where there are only women to sell any dresses, I won't say you onto which site I would go, but certainly not on this site.
So I repeat, I prefer, for the LTS of the forum, see << How to donate to Fred, to the PBTeam, or persons in such the need, click here >> instead of << Mamans ouvertes à la rencontre >> under 10 faces of women.... (which is the "wonderful" neutrality of a web without cookie)

Re: The advertisings on this forum
If you don't want ads in your browsing experience then I strongly suggest you get the "umatrix" plugin for your browser and learn how to use it. Ads never get in my way, anywhere I go. Available for Whatever brand fork you prefer including the original Chrome and Firefox. I have it installed on Comodo Dragon and MS Edge (both forks of Chrome) Firefox and Waterfox (fork of firefox).
Don't like ads -- Put a stop to them. It's really up to you.
Happy Browsing

Re: The advertisings on this forum
Gosh, I didn't even know there were ads! Clearly the adblocker I am using works well - Adblock
Re: The advertisings on this forum
I'm surprised to hear that. Besides the unobtrusive banner ads at the bottom of the pages, I've never experienced any pop-up ads on this forum. And I browse with basic Chrome.

Re: The advertisings on this forum
It is not a popup ad : it is a popup.
It is, as I wrote previously, a popup which demands me if the ads must be "neutral" or not.
If neutral, there is just women faces generated by IA to say me they are near me, they are waiting me, etc... (the same joke as through SMS since 2008 until a law forbid it.)
If non neutral, if I write a mail talking WC paper, the ads will offer me the several WC paper available on temu.
Whatever I choose, as there is zero cookie on my terminal, the popup restarts its question on each page...
For your ad-blocker, I am sorry, but what does it prove you refuse to exchange with "sponsors" ?
Nothing...
Re: The advertisings on this forum
Still, I've never experienced any pop-ups of any kind while browsing the threads of this forum.

Ad blockers may block some ads, but umatrix is a firewall that guards against all scripts and other nasty stuff they throw at you. makes browsing safe wherever you click.CDXbow wrote: Thu Aug 21, 2025 4:38 am Gosh, I didn't even know there were ads!

And yeah, i didn't know there were any popups here either. Probably scripts of a sort.

Re: The advertisings on this forum
Hmmm. I've used the 'Brave' browser since the beginning and I have never had any problems here. https://brave.com/
I do keep the 'Google' browser as a handy second option (only if I think my browser might be an issue, as in 'blocked' content)
Good to know my system works well

Re: The advertisings on this forum
I thank you for the methods suggested but it is more complex. Be different is a force. Thanks to you.
Hoping the automatic subtitles keep a minimum of quality, here is also a suggest of advertising mode for Fred, hoping he observes the blend of humour, creativity, result and proximity for Fred

Re: The advertisings on this forum
It's very hard to follow your posts because the English is very broken and some word combinations don't even make sense to me.
What do you mean with terminal? Are you browsing through the web in a terminal, in a command line interface?
And what do you mean with these woman that somehow pop up? And what do you mean with the popup demands you the ads to be "neutral"?
Can you please try to use a proper translation tool like DeepL or any AI so we all can understand what you mean? Or I am the only one that gets lost here?
Regarding ad blocking: I highly recommend uBlock Origin. Adblock (CDXbow mentioned it) is NOT the solution here. The vendor has contracts with certain companies to not block their ads. It also does not work good enough. It's just outdated since a few years now.
And in the case you use Chrome, you are generally lost because Google is no longer happy with blocking ads and made it basically impossible to block ads properly through their manifest V3.

The english grammar is freeware, you can use it freely - But it's not Open Source, i.e. you can not change it or publish it in altered way.

I loved the Brave browser, and I agree that its ad shields are really good; blocking even YouTube ads.blueb wrote: Thu Aug 21, 2025 12:29 pmI've used the 'Brave' browser since the beginning and I have never had any problems here.
But being an Android user, it just lacked the native seamlessness of the ecosystem. I enjoy the interoperability of Chrome with the various Google services, especially Google Wallet.

Re: The advertisings on this forum
Nobody is trying to prove anything. Sponsors just want your money and don't care how miserable they make your life; so Block Them!! You are suffering from scripts embedded in the pages you browse and the umatrix extension will block them. Sounds like Adblock works too.Olli wrote: Thu Aug 21, 2025 5:50 am For your ad-blocker, I am sorry, but what does it prove you refuse to exchange with "sponsors" ?

Re: The advertisings on this forum
with uBlock Origin, no issue for me. Didn't know it carried ads at all...
