Website CNBC.com is blocking all content with adblockers

Post by MountainSide »

Business website CNBC.com has started blocking all content if you are using an adblocker.

This occurs across all browsers whether Chrome, Edge or IE and across all platforms whether desktop, mobile or smartphones. They will not even allow content if allow acceptable ads is selected. As soon as a story loads, a large blue CNBC banner comes up from the bottom of the page that covers the story up. The only thing that you can then see are a couple of summary dot points, all other content is blocked. If you whitelist CNBC, then all works as before and all content is seen.

This sounds like this may be an issue with the filters.

Is anybody else seeing this or have any suggestions?

I added an advanced filter to block their ads.

Go to Settings -> Advanced, "Your Customer Filters" (near the bottom), and add the following rule:

cnbc.com##body > div.fEy1Z2XT
