The forums and the adblocker - a love story

Not.

I use ublock origin on "hard mode" - forums run fine with 90% of it disabled, I have only allowed youtube and gravatar.

It can be quite random, I've noticed.
Sometimes it's like eternal_noob, sometimes like yours and sometimes somewhere inbetween.

At this page, it seems to be external things like links, embedded stuff etc.. that are coming through previews from posts or profile posts and comments. I do have to say that i also use net/hblock on top.

It's all externally loaded content from posts and links, like Gravatars, externally loaded images, etc. The forums have no ads or trackers.
