This site is absolutely crawling with unblocked advertising and clickbait injected by the Instart Logic (g00) inline script malware. (issues/227) Watching the page load, you can see advertising being injected after the content loads, there are several DOM refreshes and changes in layout before the ads finally do all appear.

Much content is from the usual Instar Logic bunch of DNS-rotated gibberish hostnames all ending in g00.vibe.com - but blocking content from g00.vibe.com breaks legit content as well as ads.

For Chromium and uBlock Origin, installing uBlock Origin Extra from currently works around this problem. It may not continue to do so as Instar Logic has demonstrated that they are quite invested in maintaining their side of the arms race.

Visible ads:
  • Giant banner at the top, in a frame
  • Background image ad only manages to load on some pages
  • Banner to the right of the article title on some pages
  • PubExchange clickbait to the right of the article
  • ZergNet "from the web" clickbait below article
  • another banner above comments
