Before Christmas, there was large panic about new ads that would bypass adblock, ruin CSS and install malware on users PCs.
Since Hiro didnt comment it at all since then, I want to kindly ask if there is any CONFIRMED info about this whole panic already, few weeks after fact. Im still too afraid to browse Sup Forums on my home PC, only using phone for that instead (which works in sandbox anyway) and all I got so far was only rumors.
If not Sup Forums, I wouldnt even know about anything - since then, when trying to look at Sup Forums at test machine, nothing looked different - CSS working fine, Ublock working fine and not blocking any of reported adresses, no ads visible. I dont even know if its truly possible nowdays to infect PC by simply opening and loading page or if scripts can truly "click" on ads without users activity or those are just panic spreading talk.
Is already in ublock origin filters, you don't need to add anything nowadays.

You're wrong, there are also the clover phoneposters who have Sup Forums as default board

She uses on-screen keyboard.

On the left, leaning against desk. Probably moved it away to make place for cake.
Logan Baker
But can you actually get malware if those ads does load?
I mean, I dont see them but other anons says I do load them, just have them hidden. I dont know anymore...

Why don't you guys make a client that consumes data from the API and stop using the website? It makes no sense to download shit tons of HTML+CSS+JS pages that's loaded with ads when you can get just the data you want in JSON.
Gabriel Wright
You want to trick me into opening that site, dont you? Whats inside?
Connor Anderson
The website melts your cpu if you open it. Don't click on it.
Andrew Ross
But for real.
Levi Reyes
4chanX? I have never seen any of this stuff using it.
Jackson Butler
What's everyone talking about? I've never seen those ads. is it area specific?
Blake Howard
Yeah it basically rebuilds the whole site and uses the API but still displays ads and requires a browser. The mobile apps are true Sup Forums clients. There's a guy on the dpt who made a custom client for Sup Forums, it's very neat and calculates things such as board speed.

I never had an issue because I was busy and phone posting itwhen it first came up, then when I went back to my laptop, uBlock origin updated to block this, and Sup Forums x prevented css issue. I honestly thought it was a joke or troll at time, because of the css issue wasn't happening to me.
Julian Bailey
Someone did, I can't remember the name, but it's basically clover for non mobile. Archives have it somewhere, it someone will chime in with the name, eventually.

There was a script that I used on tampermonkey that sorted it out, but because I was in incog, it didn't save when I closed it I think the thread I got it from was deleted, so if anyone knows what it is and could supply it again, that'd be grand.
Wyatt Gutierrez
you don't need it anymore
Camden Smith
Clearly I do, as Sup Forums went back to being borked when I opened it again.
