I'm getting:

  uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:

  https://tech.criteo.com/blog/human-skills-ai-cant-develop-junior-engineers/

  This happened because of the following filter:

  ||criteo.com^

Umm, okay? The entire domain is blacklisted?

Apparently Criteo is an advertising tool that collects tons of data from visitors. So why is this blog there? I can't help but wonder if it's part of a scheme to convince people to unblock them.

what could possibly make you think that?

really? a scheme so that people will go: "oh I'm so curious about this technical blog, better unblock the entire domain on unblock!"

and that's their scheme for evading adblockers?

what?

I got the same thing with a different adblocker installed.

https://archive.ph/Z6ucP and https://web.archive.org/web/20261007080049/https://tech.crit... have it (archive.ph has it in light mode, web.archive has it in dark mode with no images loaded and some odd page portions).

My Pihole is blocking it too.
