Ask HN: Blacklist Forbes? Would it be possible to blacklist forbes.com links? They now block viewers who are using ad blockers, and have recently been serving advertising malware to visitors [1]. They also have awful interstitial ads [2] and, while they masquerade as a news organization, are actually a blog farm [3]. Blocking Forbes would be no great loss in terms of content, and would avoid a surprising amount of advertising- (and malware-) generated pain.
