What is going on with the web these days? 500 adds, 3 auto play video's per page and now this shit?!

Websites that do this should be removed from Google.
I don't think it's even allowed.

If you block it, it goes to a subdomain 1.<website> and asks for permission again. If you block that one it'll go to 2.<website>, up until 10.<website>, then it switches to either a "get Express VPN" or another website that asks for permission. And that one even claims to be reCAPTCHA! and then another that asks you to press "Allow" in order to watch the video. What video?!

    @bartmr I know right. Extremely low effort. The other pages are also just images with text underneath

    They spend all their budget in the notifications API XD

    @HiddenP Oh I did. Took the screenshot and left. I'm not that desperate for information.

    What happens when you have notifications disabled entirely? As soon as I found out there is an about: config value for it, I set it immediately, so I don't get prompted anymore. Does the page just show you a big poop if you have it disabled?

    @bahua I wouldn't know. I use some notifications so I'm not going to disable it on my pc, but you can try it out yourself
    This is one after the one I already blocked completely.

    I'm sorry but this does not look like the site you are looking for (if you are after anything trustworthy, that is).

    I hate this as well.

    Also websites, please don't moan at me for using ad blocking software when your website is unusable without it. So many websites with more than 60% of visible space filled with adverts these days.

    Ha! It says to click allow, but there's nothing to click.

    It occurs to me that this is probably an illicit use of captcha's assets. This is probably reportable copyright abuse.

    @SomeNone You don't have to tell me. Once I saw this I played a bit, made a screenshot and closed the page.

    @iaan Totally agreed. Having so many adds a page doesn't load quickly and the content is unreadable is just not a way to run your business.

    @bahua Lol.
    Oh, yea, totally. Besides, forcing a user to allow notifications or something of the sort in order to use the website is also not legal afaik.

    @gudishvibes What could be automated?

    @gudishvibes From the website itself? That doesn't seem legal either.

    I already don't wanna trust a site which puts a single hash as a post parameter in argument on the root of the domain.

    Imagine I should be forced to allow notifications on top of that to see a single speck of what's going on.

    @gudishvibes oh, gotcha. Totally, that's not difficult to automate at all yea
