STR: open a private window (with tracking protection on) visit washingtonpost.com and click on an article (e.g. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/11/30/why-a-hacker-is-giving-away-a-special-code-that-turns-cars-into-self-driving-machines/?utm_term=.eb1e0a88db07) ACTUAL: "Ugh. A Pop-up. We noticed you're using an ad blocker. Please take a moment to support our journalists so we can get you back to the news. [Unblock The Washington Post] [Subscribe]" Where "Unblock The Washington Post" takes me to this URL: https://www.washingtonpost.com/steps-for-disabling-adblocker/2016/09/14/a8c3d4d2-7aac-11e6-bd86-b7bbd53d2b5d_story.html?utm_term=.2ced7cb0c93e Which has these instructions: "Firefox Private Browsing Under “Tracking Protection“ click ”Disable protection for this session.”" Filing this because I wonder if we can make it harder to detect or should try to work with WaPo to do non-tracking advertising.
