Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      Ok... Quick poll. If you had to pick one. Would you choose ads on legitimate sites? Or, would you allow them to mine cryptocurrency in your browser with permission with no ads? Lets say <10% CPU.

      Not going to play the false dichotomy game. Publishers need to realize the answer is neither, because the browser is the user-agent, not the publisher-agent, and we get to decide what it does with our computers and our eyes.

      Don't be naive. Print media is slowly dying, how do you think publishers keep the content coming, if every site wouldn't be filled with ads? Cancerous, but necessary. Mining anyday over ads. Browsers will throttle background processes for inactive tabs so...

      We can and will block them both. I'm not their business model consultant; I'm a user advocate. If they want me or someone else to develop ethical models for them to get paid, they can pay for it.

          It's ads and paywalls for those who do not pay for a subscription. And unfortunately, there are ways to detect adblockers and block the users of those entirely. If you could "pay" without actually spending money and without even noticing it, wouldn't you want that instead of ads?

          Adblocker detection is easily defeated. Your "pay without spending money" argument is nonsense. You're paying by letting hostile code from sketchy sources run in your browser where it's one exploit away from compromising everything.

          "Without even noticing it" is bullshit too. Even if no malicious code runs, you notice the ad or the miner by your battery dying after 3 hours instead of 8 hours.

          The poll was about < 10% of the CPU power. If you're sane, you run it in a web worker that runs in another thread so it won't affect page performance. And browsers, at least Chrome throttle background tabs so even if you leave the tab open...

          None of that mitigates battery consumption, nor does it mitigate ux issues from cpu load. You're talking about stuff you have no understanding of.

          Whatever you say. The fact is, in the future, you're going to have 3 choices: - mining - ads - paying for your content The content creators need to get paid. Most people (according to analytics) don't want to pay with money. Which is why there are alternative methods.

          And 4. Continuing to miner-block and adblock.

          Look what @Forbes does. Adblock turned on, you're just not getting that first pageview. Surely you can turn it back on (which is what I do) immediately after the page has loaded. There's going to be an useless war between adblockers and content creators, which no one will win.
