My AdBlockers hate these game sharing sites!

Hello fellow Switch owners,

Firstly, let me say that I am not asking for or divulging where I get my Switch games from!

I recently 'refreshed' my W10 PC and have since installed AdGuard and Kaspersky.

Now, whenever I go to that 'dark' website to try and obtain some games, my Adblockers go ballistic and won't let me proceed. Even after I completely disable them and refresh the pages, the websites keep saying 'disable your adblockers' or worse, I can't even see a 'Click here to proceed' button.

It is seriously doing my head in!!!

So, my question is - how do you guys manage security on your PC whilst accessing these pages? I mean, the whole process of going through multiple pages of malicious ad pages to finally get a GDrive link is painful, but I guess a necessary evil to get our games!

I've seen a few people mention 'JDownloader'. I tried it once - it listed a whole heap of 'links' from one ad site and most of them seemed dodgy. How are you meant to proceed?

For those that use AdGuard or similar, any similar issues or workarounds?

Thanks all for your time. Happy gaming!

If the above doesn't work, purge all of your filter caches and redownload them in uBlock Origin.

Mythical
you need to learn to filter the garbage. Jdownloader really will help though. It skips a lot of captchas and redirects like adfly and all that

    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Damn Frontier is offering 5Gbps now lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I honestly can't recommend any of the big 3 this years I'd say buy a rog ally z1 if we're being honest
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah even bt support for Xbox one controllers are just as easy as pairing
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I remember having to manually put in drivers and what not
