Last few days every time I open wowhead I get this:
which ad blocker does nothing to stop. Anyone got any suggestions on how to stop it?

Lmao, that’s bad.
I use Brave browser, mainly so I can watch YouTube ad-free. It works great.
Been using it for about 6 months now.
Not a single banner ad on WoWhead.

Another way you can get rid of the ads is to give them $9 a year.
But like those above me, I just use uBlocker.

Ublock Origin works really well. I get zero adds on Wowhead, and my Firefox browser has a good blocker also.

I paid them $9 for a YEAR of premium access. I never see ads.
If you use the site regularly and I don’t get how you’d care about the ads if you did not use the site frequently… .75 cents a month is worth it.

AdBlock plus, very good as well.
Can’t say I blame anyone that doesn’t want to give them money anymore. Wowhead doesn’t deserve it for some of the nonsense they pull.
uBlock Origin is great. The element picker is excellent for blocking all those portions of a site that whine about you using an adblocker too.

This was a tough one for me.
Originally I had no problem with their subscription because I don’t think anyone should work for free but recently my sub lapsed and I was reminded how aggressive and awful the ads are that the owner of Wowhead is in bed with. Pretty sure that the majority of those ads would give your computer a virus.
I’m not going to reward them for that. If it was just normal ads then that would be ok but the ones Wowhead has throws up Nortan warnings and makes the website unusable.
I have no guilt using uBlock.

I haven’t seen any ads on the internet in a couple of decades. I just use ublock origin and set everything to super ultra paranoid mode. No ads anywhere, including youtube.
No I’m not paying to remove ads. It’s my internet connection, and my computer, and I will choose what’s displayed on my screen.
When they start whining about money, not my problem. It’s not my job to prop up their bad business model.
