Have you ever tried not pressing "Agree" on the cookie consent, at PC Gamer?
It seems impossible - the dialog pops out every single page surfed, regardless.

For example, if you press "More Options -> Save & Exit".

PC Gamer also hijacks your back button to show you suggested content when you try to leave. Trash website.

Tom's Hardware has started doing this too. It's positively user-hostile.

Every website I encounter that does that gets blocked from my Google Discover feed. I haven't managed to be so thorough with my Lemmy link blacklist yet.

Yep. It's currently the lowest friction news feed I have that can be tailored to my preferences.

has yours started pushing ads? i didnt have them for years, and now every 5th article is an ad.

[-] officermike@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

First ad comes after the 10th article, then ad, then 5 articles between every remaining ad.
