Salon website gives you a choice: turn off your ad blocker or let us mine cryptocurrencies
We're all getting pretty used to visiting news media websites, only to be told that they'd like us to turn our ad blocking software off.
Of course, we don't want to turn off our ad blockers. After all, we don't want to have our computers infected by malware spread via rogue ads, and we don't want to be tracked online by advertisers, and we find an ad-filled internet generally unattractive and slow.
Increasingly websites are giving us a choice - if you don't want to turn off your ad blocker (very sensible of you) then how about buying a subscription to the site instead?
