Is torrentgalaxy blocking users with adblock? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I saw it a bit of time ago.. how safe it is? The access is not centralized, but the data it gets in it is, right? Or it is a service in the same webserver the one that does the scraping?

Will look into it when I got time... always is docker, jeez...

Dang dang dang! We have a winner here!

Honestly, I got no idea were to find info about this situation (didn't google censor this stuff?). Thanks!

Is torrentgalaxy blocking users with adblock? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

So, I've tried to get into torrentgalaxy to get some stuff and on the top of the website there's this message:

|NEWSFLASH| Adblock is actively breaking site features again, disable when experiencing any issues.

Trying to find a torrent (Firefox, uBlock origin just updated) leads to results without names and figuring out how to get into the actual page of a given torrent leads to the page without the download torrent/get magnet link links.

I've tested with a browser without adblock and lo an behold, the issues are gone, but the site is obviously unusable.

Am I the only one experiencing this? There's no honor among pirates? Any other alternative?
