Some sites I have gone to let you read a partial news article with the bottom third or so blocked by a statement asking you to turn off your ad blocker. Occasionally I have turned off my blocker to read the rest of the article and presto, the whole page is covered with an ad that can’t be removed. Those people are terminally stupid. I don’t turn my blocker off anymore for those.

Two browser add-ons I use to get around this foolishness:

Readerview

and

Outline

These can also help you get around paywalls. I regularly use Outline to defeat the paywall at the Wall Street Journal.
