us law meta, scheming 

I wonder if I could sue web sites that try to sabotage ad blockers under the ADA, since ad blockers make the Internet much more usable for people with epilepsy and/or ADHD.

I can't read a web page with video ads unless I've scrolled them off the screen (of course, many video ads float to prevent exactly that) or covered over them in some way.

@kistaro Video adverts that float in a corner or something of some article websites are just atrocious design. I'm glad I generally don't go to websites that get into that sort of behaviour, or otherwise have uBlock (desktop and mobile)... but I've seen my parents deal with that on Safari on Mac and I'm just... *sobs in a corner*
