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?

    If a site gets too annoying, I just leave and find something else

      This.

      I use Adguard, if a site blocks me for it, then it goes on a black list of “never visit” sites.

      In a few cases, if I use and like/support a specific site a lot and that site is ad supported with no other ad-free option, then I white list it.

      But to read the odd crappy article? No I’m not disabling my ad blocker.

      Yeah. It gets irritating but this is what you ultimately have to do, anyway, because if you stick with whatever web site filtering out its blockers, it’s just going to wind up giving you a Trojan. It’s actually the web site’s purpose in existing if it’s that aggressive in detecting a blocked. The content you download from it more than likely has malware or some other shit in it. Getting that message is a.sign to avoid that place.
