I went to thetvdb.com site yesterday and much to my surprise, they won’t let me in unless I subscribe or turn off my adblocker. Is there any workaround for this?

      I’m actually genuinely surprised that more people don’t know about uBlock Origin.

      want to also add that people using ublock origin would probably benefit from enabling more than just the default filters.

      if you go into your extension prefs for UB, there’s a lot of other stuff in there. I usually select everything except the other languages. I occasionally come across a site that has a ‘we see youre using an adblocker’ type message but its not very often. and even then, most of the ones that I have seen let me dismiss the message and still view the content.

      i don’t use any social media except lemmy/reddit and the like tho, so no clue how it works on facebook and other trash like that.
