I usually enable reader view when I see these popups, which usually works to get around them (including in this case).

I'm assuming you're using ublock-origin, if so, ensure you have these filters enabled:

  EasyList
  EasyList – Cookie Notices
  EasyPrivacy
  Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list 
  uBlock filters – Ads
  uBlock filters – Privacy
  uBlock filters – Unbreak

The ads on this site are horrendous. At one point I had a video ad pop up that I could not close and I had to refresh the page.

what ads? I don't see a single ad there. Are you using chrome by any chance? Cause I use Firefox with uBlock Origin and had no problem browsing the site without seeing a single ad.

Why is this comment downvoted? I also saw no ads, using Firefox Mobile with uBlock Origin and NextDNS.

There is something strange about asking "what ads" and then saying you are using ublock origin. Thats your answer to "what ads" right there...

I don't run ublock origin on my work computer (which maybe I should) which is where I viewed this article.

Just the same as all the recommendations. I think you mean pixels you've sold to the highest bidders.

Recommendations and perks are some of the most misused words in the 21st century.

> disable your ad blocker before continuing

I read it as: disable JavaScript before continuing.

uBO is blocking all the ads without such a message for me
