A simple change in your browser settings can make a real difference to the future of this website.

Shiguangji is currently supported mainly by advertising revenue.

That revenue helps cover the everyday costs of running the website, including hosting, domain renewal, software testing, content research, technical maintenance, and the continued publication of free articles.

We want to keep most of the content on this website freely available without placing everything behind a paywall or requiring visitors to purchase a membership.

For that reason, if you are using an ad-blocking extension, we sincerely invite you to add Shiguangji to your allowlist.

You do not need to disable your ad blocker on every website. Allowing ads only on Shiguangji is enough to support the site while keeping your usual protection elsewhere.

Why Advertising Matters to Shiguangji

Every tutorial, tool review, project note, and troubleshooting guide requires time, testing, research, and ongoing maintenance.

Advertising revenue helps support:

• Website hosting and network services
• Domain renewal and technical maintenance
• Software, tools, and service testing
• Article research, editing, and updates
• Website development and security
• The continued publication of free content

For you, allowing ads may take only a few seconds.

For Shiguangji, that small action helps turn free visits into sustainable support for future content.

About the Ads Displayed on This Website

Shiguangji uses Google AdSense to provide advertising.

Google AdSense is an advertising service operated by Google for website publishers. Advertisements delivered through the platform are subject to Google’s advertising policies, technical standards, and review systems.

Shiguangji may also use the management and review tools provided by Google AdSense to monitor, block, or report unsuitable advertisements.

We make reasonable efforts to reduce advertisements that may be:

• Misleading
• Irrelevant to the website
• Disruptive to normal reading
• Inappropriate or uncomfortable
• Potentially inconsistent with platform policies

However, advertisements are delivered dynamically based on factors such as your location, device, browsing environment, page content, and advertising preferences.

Because of this, Shiguangji cannot review every advertisement before it appears to every visitor.

If you notice an advertisement that appears inappropriate, misleading, or suspicious, please contact us and include a screenshot and the page URL whenever possible. We will review the issue and take appropriate action through the available advertising controls.

You Do Not Need to Disable Your Ad Blocker Everywhere

To protect your browsing preferences and security, we recommend adding Shiguangji to your allowlist instead of disabling your ad blocker globally.

After adding the site to your allowlist:

• Your ad blocker will continue working on other websites
• Ads will only be permitted on Shiguangji
• You can restore blocking for this website at any time
• You do not need to uninstall any browser extension

After changing the setting, please refresh the current page.

The exact wording may vary depending on the extension, but most ad blockers provide an option to disable blocking for the current website only.

Built-In Browser Ad Blocking

Some Chromium-based browsers include their own advertising, tracking, or privacy protection features.

If you have not installed an ad-blocking extension but still see a warning that ads are blocked, look near the address bar for:

• An ad-blocking notice
• A shield icon
• A privacy protection icon
• A tracking protection message
• A blocked content notification

Click the relevant icon and allow advertising or disable protection for the current website, then refresh the page.

Still Not Working?

If you have already added Shiguangji to your allowlist but the website still reports that ads are blocked, try the following steps.

1. Refresh the Page

After changing the settings, perform a full refresh.

On Windows, press:

Ctrl + F5

On macOS, press:

Command + Shift + R

2. Check for Multiple Blocking Extensions

Some users have more than one advertising, privacy, script, or tracking extension installed.

Examples include:

• AdBlock
• Adblock Plus
• uBlock Origin
• uBlock Origin Lite
• AdGuard
• Ghostery
• Privacy Badger
• NoScript
• Browser privacy extensions

Even if one extension allows Shiguangji, another extension may continue blocking advertising.

Please check each relevant extension and add the website to its allowlist.

3. Check Security Software or DNS Filtering

Advertisements may also be blocked by software or services outside the browser.

Common examples include:

• Antivirus web protection
• Router-level ad blocking
• AdGuard DNS
• NextDNS
• Pi-hole
• Proxy or filtering rules
• Company or school network policies
• Privacy-focused DNS services

If you have disabled your browser extensions but the warning remains, one of these services may be responsible.

4. Clear Cache and Cookies

You may also try clearing the cache and cookies for the current website and then reopening the page.

Please note that clearing cookies may sign you out or reset certain website preferences.
