Yeah I'd rather just load a different page.
Not disabling my adblocker for any reason.
Honestly on ublock for most websites it’s pretty easy to just delete the “turn off your adblocker” popup. Some websites genuinely won’t work with an adblocker on though unfortunately.
I do this first. If it doesn't work then I like those above your comment just go elsewhere. If they are the only one then I wait for it to show up on an archive site. If I actually need it then I break out the day job skills and write up custom adblock scripts to bypass their detection. I'll spend hours doing it out of spite. Then I write up scripts that clear my cache and refresh the page over and over and over when I'm not using my PC to drive up their hosting costs.
Plenty of other pages on the www : )
