is it enough to block all ads on tomshardware?
Remove permission to execute JavaScript (in your browser) on sites that use html-load.com and error-report.com in addition to blocking these two in DNS. Solved it for me, don't know for how long.
Even behind a pi-hole that whole site is a game of “find the tiny little x”.
BRB, the raspberry pi is sending CPU temp alerts now…
Last time I visited Tom Shardware it felt like the whole thing is basically an ad. Is the content still any good? I recall back when it was the go-to.
