(My ad blocker doesn't like *.techspot.com. Is it OK or are they shady?)
It's quite popular tech-related news website. Been around for as long as I can remember and never really noticed anything shady. Not a single filter/AdBlock blocks it on my end.
Thanks. It goes in just fine on my desktop, so there's something else on my phone that didn't like it. Not sure what, all good for now in any case.
So, tried again in my phone and its uBlock Origin in Ironfox that's complaining. Odd, because I have the same extension in my desktop PC.
BadBlock+ on ironfox has given me various problems with legittimate sites too...is BadBlock actually bad?
I took a glance at the list in BadBlock+ and there are a ton of things I'm glad they're blocking, and a few that I am not. They have grafana.com in there, e.g. I intend to allow sites when needed but will keep the file in use.
Hmm, opens fine with my adblocker. Does yours say which list is blocking them?
