Seeing anti-adblock with Acceptable Ads enabled

Post by SaladCake »

I would like to support the websites I'm visiting while blocking unacceptable ads. I think full-fledged adblocking hurts creativity and aids in making the ad ecosystem more filled with disinformation. However, while Acceptable Ads are enabled, I'm still seeing anti-adblock popups. Examples include Imgur and NBC News. How to stop these pesky warnings from popping up? To be honest, it's been making me switch to uBlock Origin, but I don't like how uBlock Origin encourages total ad removal.
