OverlordHorizon 08/23/18 1:05:12 PM #1:	I just noticed today that there's some websites that just won't function properly at all if you have Ad Block on. If I turn it off, no problemo, everything works. Sigh... is this the end of ad blocking? Are we going to be forced to have them everywhere? -_- RIP blocked ads era <cite>OverlordHorizon posted [p:907411899] in Ad Block n...

southcoast09 08/23/18 1:07:39 PM #5:	Ill never turn off ad block. Its not the random ads here and there, but rather because things pop up and slow down my phone. Then I go to close the window and it lags and closes the wrong one. Screw that. I wouldnt be surprised if Twitter has something about the ad blockers in their Auto suspension algorithms? I know a lot of non-controversial accounts have been randomly and inexplicably suspended. --- #MakeFinalFantasyGreatAgain <cite>southcoast09 posted [p:907412035] in Ad Block n...

Nomadic View 08/23/18 1:10:29 PM #10:	I dropped Adblock a few months ago. It stopped blocking ads. I still havent got a substitute. GameFAQs isnt as bad as it used to be. Which is the whole reason I got Adblock to begin with.
