Q2. Are you browsing through the web in a terminal, in a command line interface?
Q3. And what do you mean with these woman that somehow pop up?
Q4. And what do you mean with the popup demands you the ads to be "neutral"?
Q1. Terminal = Could be smartphone, digital tablet, computer, etc...
Q2. No :) But it would be cool, a command line interface would be cool.
Q3. The pictures of the women in the ads in the bottom of pages here, repeated again and again = not normal.

Q3.+ Your (not only Nic) description about ads blocker seems to block 2 things : 1/2 the popup to request the client consent
2/2 the ads which displays naked women or women faces with false desires (which are not popup).

Q4. When you do not consent to give your personal context, this means that the ads must be neutral. The opposite of neutral here = the ads match to a context built, depending of your whole historic on the net (site, mails, preferences validated, etc...)

I must cut off now for any hours, because I work a lot.

Thank you for your patience about my bad grammar.

I'm sure that our forum administrators would have set age-targeting and content ratings for their ad account. So, such content should not appear on these pages in the first place.

If you're doing Linux, Try the "links" text based browser.

What the heck is wrong with naked women popping up anywhere??!! I normally go out of my way to find that kind of treatment.

Hahaha... I can't download your z7 file from the link down below because umatrix is blocking scripts on yandex.ru and I don't trust that I should allow scripts on yandex.ru so I can't review your programs. That's OK. Probably all over my head anyway. I think uBlock is a younger brother to umatrix and far more lenient.

It's not a "younger brother" its a little bit different. see here : https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blo ... AndUMatrix

And by the way uMatrix is very old. Last Update 4 years ago... Maybe you should change ;)

I don't discard anything because it is old. If it works and nothing better, why replace it? That would be silly.

For security considerations, it's never advisable to use outdated software. It's already quite challenging to keep ahead of malware, viruses, and other bad players, but without regular patches and updates, it's simply risky to use unsupported software.

Hooey! Regurgitated scare verbiage designed to keep people paying for more of something they already have. Just plain hooey! :lol:
You're probably a strong advocate of "Anti-Virus" crap software too.
