I'm using ublock origin, ghostery, and a VPN. The entire site is inaccessible. Anyone else? The worst part is they are lying SOBs about protecting my privacy. They want me to allow cookies and everything else so they can monitor my browsing history, not because they want to protect my privacy. 2023-12-05 16_58_17-Browser Blocked _ CNN.png

If they can't make a profit off of you, there is no point to having you around.

If you want to prune a lot of bullshit before it can even hit your browser look into getting a cheap VPS and installing AdGuard Home on it and set it up to your heart's content. There's PiHole but AGH is what I know and love. VPS so I can easily have my ass covered at home or on the go. It's not that rough to set it up so your DNS queries are encrypted as well.

Using AdBlock browser for Android, just got blocked entirely by CNN.

Guess I won't be visiting that site any more.

I view CNN unblocked because adblockers have caused me too many problems. I certainly sympathize with wanting to get rid of the swill adverts on that site though. It's extremely annoying.

CNBC blocker is an idiot. I just toggle pause or allow to get their stupid screen to go away so I can do ONE thing. Check my stupid company stock to find out when I can get rid of it.
