Malicious anti-adblocking

Some days ago, browsing my RSS feed as usual I got some very weird error in a blog I (now used) to read. A few days later the the same happened, but then after the crash appeared a message to disable my adblock.

If they make the webpage crash because I don't allow ads, I'm better not accessing the site anymore.1 I guess the most I lose is access to comments. The most interesting part which was the link collection they posted once in a while can still be read via my RSS reader.

To make things worse, the post-crash page says the ads are reasonable. They are not, they're the same as every other site with ads.

  1. I also got the same error with another site I found while browsing. I guess I don't need to access that one too.
