    Some local news sites in my city show local ads that are simply static images loaded in their pages, mimicking traditional newspaper ads, without any kind of tracking. Although it’s questionable at a philosophical level if ads can be ethical, I can live with it, and that method will pass automated adblockers, so it’s a win-win.

      You know, I think I’d be okay with that. As long as it’s not something that’s begging for your attention or trying to get you to click on it.

        Or loading at random intervals so you have to scroll around to find where you were before the page jumped around. Very little infuriates me more.
