RAM Altman: Linux Script Emails Sam Altman Daily How Much Unused RAM in Your PC

the ridiculous "no ad blocker" full-screen modal that's unclosable led me down a rabbit hole there - turns out there's some obfuscated script from "Ad Shield" which replaces the whole site with an iframe if you dare to block their domain, "html-load.com", which proxies ad networks.

fortunately one can just run debugger; to stop it early

I noticed it on several completely unrelated sites since a few days. I've never seen it before.

I was wondering if they're was some kind of consolidation/buyoff of pro-ad-protection services.

if you're on ubo lite, move from 'optimized' to full for that page and it shoooould dump adshield out.

I'm not getting it either, nor have I seen it in other sites. I wonder if this is because of Firefox not having neutered uBO?

That is correct, uBO Lite is A Chrome-only thing since they finally neutured uBO recently.

Interesting. I'm using Firefox Focus and the page loads and is ridiculously free of distractions, err, ads.

i've seen it personally on Orion on iOS, their adblocker seems to be unable to get around it.

Even more fortunately, you can skip the blogspam and go straight to the git repo: https://github.com/IainKay/ram-altman

uBlock Origin + NoScript does the trick.

Using uMatrix/nuTensor to block JS from respawnfirst.com also lets you ignore the nasty script.

Ah, I was complaining about the modal slide-in and other pester-widgets.

I am glad to not be the only one who hates that. Modern websites are so scummy.

Looks fine to me.

Firefox, ublock origin. (on linux but I don't think that matters)
