You've literally just copied what I said and pasted it in my own thread. You mongul.

There's currently no way to turn this off, besides delete and block the Javascript line (Ublock seems to do it), and cloudfare has already blocked one site already for implementing such a Javascript feature.

What's everyones thoughts, are you for it, or against it? I'm personally up for it, why not. It's a good way for sites to kill the middleman and earn revenue an alternative method.

Im honestly for it and can 100% respect the hussle. If it doesnt impact my ux then w/e.
