You wouldn’t download a chicken tender.
What are they gonna do, not sell you chicken?
Make sure to update your Ad Blocker settings to include the whole site.
If there’s no secrets then there shouldn’t be any problem with ad blocking
I interpret this as a pretty clear “you aren’t allowed to have secrets” message. The only secrets allowed are theirs, not yours. They’re going to track everything you do.
What ads are even on a Pepsico website? Why would Pepsi need 3rd party advertising on their own website?
You order online for delivery to avoid COVID only to catch a computer virus from an ad. I used to watch my relatives browse to a news page and IMMEDIATELY get hit with a “MICROSOFT ERROR CALL xxx-xxx-xxxx TO FIX IT”. Then I put ublock origin on their PC aaaaaaand good game ads!
Probably telemetry, which most ad blockers also block. I think you meant kfc instead of pepsi
KFC is under the PepsiCo monopoly
no it isn’t, it’s owned by yum brands, a Chinese restaurant conglomerate. not better, but not pepsico either.
Yum! Brands, Inc. (sometimes called simply Yum!), formerly Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc., is an American multinational fast food corporation listed on the Fortune 1000. Yum! operates the brands KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and The Habit Burger Grill, except in China, where the brands are operated by a separate company, Yum China. Yum! previously also owned Long John Silver’s and A&W Restaurants. The company was created as a spin-off of PepsiCo in 1997.
I went and looked up the Wikipedia page out of curiosity when someone disagreed that they’re a Chinese conglomerate and thought I’d share for anyone else reading the thread.
Short answer: not a Chinese conglomerate.
well shit, i didn’t look that close. i just knew it wasn’t PepsiCo.
A Chinese conglomerate publicly traded on the NYSE who reports in USD and files with the SEC? A Chinese conglomerate with their headquarters in Kentucky whose majority investors are institutional? A Chinese conglomerate with most shares owned by people or companies in America and whose executives are all American?
They could be owned by sewer rats. But that wouldn’t matter 'cause I don’t eat the mother fucker anyway.
Yum (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) split from Pepsi a couple decades ago back in 1997.
TIL. Damn it
Not anymore though. They spun kfc, taco bell, and pizza hut years ago and they are under the yum brand now. They still have exclusive contracts regarding fountain. Not sure what other connections are left.
Their “joke” to shoehorn in a statement about their 11 herbs and spices doesn’t even make sense. Like, it’s implying you are using an ad blocker to gain secrets? What?
The overworked tech dude didn’t have a single say on what went on there. That was the out of touch marketing team and project manager.
Out of touch with tech and privacy minded population perhaps, but right on point for the majority of grease guzzling patrons they’re targeting as their primary demographic, who probably think that’s cute
It’s reverse upside-down inside-out psychology
Does that make it right-side-up, ordinary psychology?
I’m not sure, I can’t even quite picture what I said because double-negatives and mirror images confuse me.
Same, dude. Same. 🫂
Ooh That’s refreshing, finally a hug emoji exists that doesn’t look like jazz hands
You using an adblocker shouldn’t be a secret then! Everyone submit their adblocker secrets!
pihole, ublock origin, I’ve got a raspberry pi as my DNS and DHCP provider… I used to run a squid firewall that let me trick all my roommates with flipped images and complete ad blocking like 15 years ago
most of it still works…
See though, the thing is my idea of “optimal performance” means using an app without seeing any ads. So, no I don’t think I’ll be turning it off.
Your adblock sucks. There are ads everywhere on the picture.
looks like we need ad blocker detection blockers now.
A username named “Reek” had one but it hasn’t been updated in years
It’s blacklisted by uBlock Origin, I don’t remember with which claims.
How bizarre. I mean, you’re trying to pay them money.
They deserve double money
Don’t forget to tip your pop-up ads
The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don’t use a blocker, but this morning I couldn’t read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don’t have.
Maybe your browser is blocking tracking or other cookies that adblockers also target.
The most common one I’ve seen on Google News uses DNS checking, too. If it can’t resolve an ad domain, it assumes you’re using an ad blocker.
experience optimal performance
Phone immediately bricks due to the sheer volume of malware and ads piling into the browser.
That’s optimal performance for “put your phone down and go to the restaurant yourself”, which makes more money for KFC.
Secret? My god, the sense of entitlement of capital.
Just to be clear, is the implication here that people should use ad blockers in secret and that the “right” thing to do is to consume whatever media (and expose open tabs, history, etc) corporate wants you to see?
They’re kinda telling on themselves, ‘no secrets’ what does watching an add have to do with secrets, unless they want you to have no secrets from them, and give you all a your data. Then that sentence makes sense. That sentence has some real twist / projection / gaslighty vibes. Why do corporations feel like my abusive ex.
Because they are. They need you financially but they hate your guts too.
Went to some kind of restaurant chain once (red robin I think?) and there were ads as we were eating.
Yeah they put ads on that little screen you use to pay. Also it never has any receipt paper loaded.
Remember kids, adblock stops more than just the ads you see.
Also, fuck yeah I’d download a chicken tender.
ublock origin, adguard and brave’s adblocking are way better than the “adblock” extension.
It’s unfortunate that Adblock has become the Zerox/Google/Velcro of un-shittyfying software.
Brave? Please educate yourself and stop using that piece of garbage.
What’s wrong with brave?

Edit: If you can’t switch to Firefox and you’re looking for a good alternative that’s privacy-focused and functionally similar, take a look at Vivaldi. Solid chrome-based browser.
Most of the article talks about the CEO and the company, the only criticisms of the actual product (the browser) is that it’s bloated, which is very subjective because one mans bloat is another mans feature and the affiliate link injection scandal from 4 years ago, which definitely shouldn’t have been done but at least it wasn’t malicious and now is gone.
To be honest I think people on here dislike brave primarily due to ideological reasons, completely ignoring the fact that 99.9% of people aren’t hackermans™ and don’t want to install gnu icecat or librewolf with 7 different extensions. For those people it’s either chrome/edge or brave, the latter, even if not perfect is a way better option both for them and the internet.
I wouldn’t call Vivaldi ‘a good alternative’.
brave at least has cared about maintaining their source code on github. Vivaldi, on the other hand, just [vomits tar.xz on their website]https://vivaldi.com/source/) and that’s it. they also have made ui closed source.
they don’t have an opt-out for their data collection.I personally use nothing expect librewolf(hardened Firefox fork). but brave is a sane choice for those who are spoiled by chrome.
the only praise I hear about Vivaldi is their tabs(?).
Ahem. I was referring to “Adblock” as a class of software, not referring to one specific program (the same way that websites refer to blocking ads as “Adblock”).
You have made an incorrect assumption.
I don’t eat there anyways, but I wish I could even more not eat there now.
Maybe you should cook some food and deliver it to your local KFC - would that count?
