Rather than reply to this post:
https://forum.next-episode.net/post.php … qid=166901
and be off-topic in that thread, my musings seem better-placed here...
I don't have an ad-blocker but I have the hosts file from
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
and I have allowed the NE adverts by allowing some Google (grudgingly!) cookies in my Firefox (64bit, fully updated, no other additives except for "Facebook Container" and "Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on") browser.
Menu - Options - Privacy & Security - Cookies and Site Data
I ticked (aka 'checked') the box to "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed"
Then in "Manage Exceptions..." I added the following for "Allow for Session":
https:// ssl.google-analytics .com
https:// adservice.google .com
https:// www. googletagservices .com
https:// tpc.googlesyndication .com
https:// googleads.g.doubleclick .net
https:// pagead2.googlesyndication .com
(Remove spaces if you copy & paste these! Also check that hosts file to REM these out if necessary.)
Just in case it helps someone else...
Cheers!
Edit: Added another URL and included some strategic spaces to prevent the links becoming clickable (grrr!)
