Uh, it's more that I had adblock installed and found myself needing to disable it for most websites just to access it. Adblock ended up being more of a hassle to use than the small handful of sites where it actually worked.

Oh, I see that I misunderstood the motivation behind your comment.

I've noticed an increase in sites that do what you describe, but so far I've responded by no longer hanging out on those sites, and that feels OK.

My adblocker is Ublock Origin Lite (the one that is expected to continue to work on Chrome indefinitely).
This hasn't been the case for me and I've been using ublock origin for maybe a decade now.

The only sites that break are streaming sites. Which is expected, I mean they need to make their ad money and they sell ad-free tiers.

All except paramount plus, funny enough. Yes, you can get ad-free paramount plus for half the cost if you just use ublock origin! I guess they forgot to put in that little bit of logic.
