Ah. I went through the ublock settings from the addons page, maybe thats why I threw ke the first page.

Let's just hope it carries on, but I'm not a programmer, so I couldn't tell if there could be a workaround.

And yes, I am from England.

There's loads of things they can do but ultimately it'll just provoke a new method of countering it. This is why they want to push software level changes to browsers that would allow them to prevent adblocking entirely.

Yeah, I don't see how they think they could ever win this.

Much like a lot of others on here, I am fully prepared to lose access to sites if they force me into their bullshit.
