A one-minute clip from the movie The Big Hit showing a gangster explaining how a trace buster works.

HN uses it purely as a joke reference when threads touch on tracing, trackers or hiding from them.

I am reminded of the "Trace Buster Buster Buster" scene from the otherwise forgettable 1998 movie "The Big Hit." ▶ this video When a MF tryin to block your ad with an adblocker, this will block the MF'n adblocker that's blocking yo...... ads.

You’re probably thinking of the movie “the big hit”. It’s trace busters: ▶ this video The trace busta busta busta.

> So LE should get counter-drones. But then the “bad guys” will get anti-counter-drones. This reminds me of the not well aged The Big Hit: ▶ this video

If they ever make a sequel to the movie The Big Hit , The "AdBlocker-Blocker-Blocker" will have to be used instead of the "Trace Buster Buster": ▶ this video

Indeed. I have used Adblock and Noscript for years. My browsing the web is not an invitation for websites to serve a webpage viewing webapp so that they can (poorly, buggily, in a more error-prone manner) reimplement a browser's navigation logic. (Ever had to reload a website which uses the pushState API because you clicked a link and for whatever reason the XMLHTTPRequest it made to fetch the page didn't work and it just hung and ignored all future link clicks? Dear chickenshit webdevs, if you think you can implement navigation better than an actual web browser, you're probably wrong.) The vast majority of the time when I come to an article which is a blank page without JavaScript, I don't enable JavaScript; I just make a mental note that the web developers are beyond incompetence and move on. I'm starting to respond to this trend with a more aggressive refusenik approach. For example, CSS is now so powerful that you can cause excessive CPU load with it alone. So I now have a shortcut configured to disable CSS for a site. This also makes many sites readable which otherwise wouldn't be, because they're doing something insane like blanking out content with CSS under the expectation that it'll be shown using JavaScript. And of course all of these recent 'ad-blocker-blockers' ( ▶ this video ) seem to rely on JavaScript. Sometimes the content is loaded via JavaScript and so this won't work. Amazingly, for some years now there is a Blogger template which does this, which demonstrates t
