uBlock Origin should prevent this, other ad-blockers might not have these bypass mechanisms.

I'm actually genuinely surprised that more people don't know about uBlock Origin.
It's all we talk about here lol
And most people aren't here.
But OP is, and still asking...
That's fair.
True.
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.
What adblocker? I'm using Ublock Origin and have no issues.
Using Wipr on iOS, which has no special abilities other than blocking ads using EasyList and don’t have any issues.
Also, I don’t see why thetvdb would be so aggressive given their content is crowdsourced.
Sorry everyone, you're right. Ublock origin does bypass this. I realised I was looking something up on my wife's PC last night who doesn't have it installed but my PC does and I have access, thanks all.
Let's hope you put Ublock on your wife's PC after that.
Using noscript I approved the sites js, the cdn and jsdeliver. I am also running ublock and am getting no nags. This is on ff mobile for Android.
Exactly, except I'm on desktop. Didn't install NoScript on my mobile browser since it's somewhat of a pain managing NoScript and uBlock side-by-side for everything.
I should learn how to sync my settings
Even on mobile it's a couple clicks away from being on or off. Saves me more time than it costs when something doesn't work the way I want.
Is there a Ublock update?
It seems to work fine on my browser. What adblock are you using?
Try nextdns
