Google to stop listening in temporarily after data leak (businessinsider.com) 9 points by strooper 6y ago ↗ HN
[–] xthestreams 6y ago ↗ I always keep my ad-blocker off by default, because in general I want to support websites that show ads, except when they get in my way. I had my ad-blocker deactivated when I visited this link, and this is what I saw:https://ibb.co/BTkP6TL(huge pop-up telling me to deactivate my ad-blocker in order to read the article, even if it was already deactivated).Ironically, I then activated my ad-blocker for that website and the popup went away. Such idiotic practices.
