It seems like there's been a lot more websites that have been deploying anti-adware blocker software in the past few weeks. One that stands out in particular is called Admiral (see websites like GameRant for an example).
I have tried Adguard Plus and Rethink DNS (using the instructions from FMHY), and neither can prevent the popup that stops you from reading the site. I assume there's user scripts out there, but at this point, I don't even know what to search for on Greasyfork.
Have any of you figured out a workaround?
Option 1: Firefox (or any firefox variant like Floorp, Waterfox or LibreWolf) + uBlock Origins, if that doesn't work -
Option 2: avoid the sites, don't give them traffic, and -
Option 3: if you really need to read that article, use 12ft ladder and it will probably work.
You can also try archive.ph or check for the cached version of the website, if 12ft ladder is ineffective.
