"adblocker problem"


          

W10 and IE11. There are a few websites where I get a message saying I may not read unless I disable my ad blocker. Very disconcerting, as I do NOT have an ad blocker installed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Check Internet Options, Privacy tab. Verify Pop-up Blocker is unchecked.

Check IE's Tools>Internet Options>Privacy tab to make sure that you don't have the built-in blocker turned on. If so, uncheck the Pop-up blocker setting.

Jim.

Thanks. I'll see if I can disable the pop up blocker, only on those sites.

A lot of times, if you hit the stop button right as the page is visible, it won't load the warning.

I may be overlooking the obvious but in IE what/where is the "stop button"? Do you mean the "x" that appears briefly at the end of the Address Bar while a page is loading?

Jim.

Yeah, I call that the "stop button" I think I had a theme at some point that used a stop sign for it.

I get that same message when reading some New York newspapers. It is annoying and hope it isn't a trend to force users to not use an ad blocker. My response is that I just don't visit that page anymore. We also have power. Users UNITE! Down with the
dictatoral NY rags.
