The Fucking ad covers the content I literally could not get back into his comic strip because of the Fucking unremoveable ad covering the content. Guess time for that ad blocker.

I have pi-hole running for network level ad blocking, it always confuses me when not at home and I see ads
What is the best tutorial for this.
I use the Control D private DNS, which performs similar functions to a pi-hole, but I think is easier to set up.
Mething Positive.
Ublock origin on Firefox. You’ll be shocked at how fast pages will load
Just installed unblock anc you are correct.
Holy shit, Something Positive is still going.
The creator is also currently the guy behind the Popeye comics, the Sunday newspaper ones!
Yeah, I read his comic’s 22nd anniversary blurb and learned that Popeye is still going after over a century …
Oh what. That’s weird.
Idk. Sure, use an ad blocker, but the medium is also content - if the comic author wants their site to be so full of ads that their content is unreadable then tbh I’m probably going to give up reading. Ads like that don’t just happen by accident - ad placement is just as much an artistic decision as the colour palette they use
Not all webcomic authors are also well versed in web design. There’s a good chance this is a WordPress theme for comics and a plug-in for ads, maybe with more third party add-ons.
If that is the Something Positive I read a decade ago he should know how to make a website by now, and it was not that bad back then.
Then you load up your site, go “oh, those ads make my site look like garbage”, and turn the plugin off. Ads don’t magically appear, someone has to actively decide that they want them and that they are happy with the trade off for user experience
While that’s true, there’s also the “Works on my machine” effect.
It might’ve been less obstructive on their pc than on op’s
yeah OP has an ultra wide. the ad probably calculates size with a percentage.
