What annoy me the most though is those skinny ads that stretch across the top of the window, then just as you go to read the article that skinny ad expands downward growing a few times taller. We have such little real estate already, then that happens and it messes up your reading. AdGuard on my MacBook Pro works well to stop those and the pop-ups too, but it seems to not be working very well on iPadOS 13.1. Maybe AgGuard will get an update out soon that works better. |
Well to be fair, it's a matter of survival for them. Many sites have gone under in recent years thanks to lack of ad revenue. So it's a choice of either making them harder to block or adding a pay wall.
