Just tried to access Drudge and was interrupted due to my adblocker.
Anyone else ?
Photobucket is doing the same thing to me now as well.
I have adblock plus enabled, and I see Drudge fine
Try AdBlocker Ultimate.
I’ll give it a shot, thanks Bunky
Working fine here also. I suppose Drudge is a target by liberals for all sorts of nasties.
Haven’t been to Drudge in a long while. I can get much the same ‘news’ at CNN.
Unfortunately, and on a related note, RSBN seems to be hosed now. I'm getting a page saying I'm being blocked unless I let them screw with my machine (i.e., enable JavaScript); so screw them!. Fortunately, I can still see everything I need from them on their youtube channel.
I have Ad Block Plus on my MacBook Pro, use it with both Safari and Chrome, and have no problem accessing him.
My response is very simple when they block my Ad Blocker Plus. I just X my way out and go elsewhere.
This is another excellent reason to use FR for our news and to donate to it.
After reading the thread comments, I have to ask...has anybody here EVER bought something from an internet ad?
I’ve never bought a thing from these ads, and I’ve seen thousands of them...millions maybe.
I’m not sure I understand the concept of “ad blockers”. Don’t people or companies post content that you want to see to make money? No ad revenue, no content.
I can access Drudge using adblock plus on Chrome.
However, any site that blocks my adblocker no longer gets visited by me.
I’m not going to look at your adds, and I’m not going to turn it off.
Hmmm...I’m running ‘Adblock Plus’ on Mozilla - without issue.
(maybe I’m next! 8^)
Ok yesterday, now no go.
Photobucket ok, just the usual offer to subscribe.
Why go to Drudge when anything important comes up, it’s here in just a few minutes without the garbage. AND you can spout off your two cents about it!

Ummm...because it usually gets here because we go to drudge to read about it and then post from the linked site?
Problem is many places do way too many ads, and many of the ads are in very poorly written Flash script, taking a long time to load, crashing your browser, and giving hackers access to your computer. If they’d do a small number of well coded ads it wouldn’t be a problem, they chose to make ads not merely irritating but actually hazardous, they started the arms race.
Drudge works fine with uBlock Origin.
Drudge now runs automatic audio ads in the background.
Drudge is spam.
Use hotspot wifi. Then alternate tablets & browsers.
Finally Screen Capture the Drudge page, high resolution.
Browse the screen pic.
If interested, then return to link.
Adblock working today in Firefox but 1 other time in the past month it did not and I installed uBlock Orgin. One or the other works but I have had to disable them for some articles.
I went to Customize and dragged the buttons to the Add-on toolbar
Right click on the top toolbar to put a check next to it so you see it. You will also see Customize there.
