On the atlantic you can just refresh the page and click the back button to get around their popup.

I think they forgot to account for the window.onpageshow handler with their js warning.

I didn't see the ad-blocker-blocker loading this URL in Brave. Also, often blocking both ads & JS for a site blocks the ad-blocker-blocker.

Can confirm, just disabling JS gets around almost all anti-adblock, as well as speeding up pageload by 10-20x and removing obnoxious stuff from the page.

The really bad blocker blockers use noscript <meta refresh> headers, which most JavaScript blockers don't do anything to. Weirdly, I've only ever seen those on local newspaper websites. They just force redirect to a nastygram if you aren't running JavaScript.

You can always do it temporarily and just for that site.
