I run both AdBlock and Ghostery. I experienced the same interstitial as every one, was particularly interested in the article headline, disabled AdBlock, reloaded the page, still blocked, disabled Ghostery, reload the page, worked.
Ghostery disabled, it initially reported that about 60 trackers loaded in the page which then quickly turned to 97 to then reach more than 110 trackers.
I highly recommend installing Ghostery.

- danieldk 11y agoWhy use a blocker by a company that sells user statistics?[1] Seriously wondering, since uBlock provides virtually the same and more. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostery#Business_model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostery#Business_model
- http-teapot 11y agoI'll give uBlock a try! I am aware of Ghostery's business model and I am not against businesses selling metrics and/or ads in general. I think there should be consequences for companies that do not have the best interests for the users.
