Any other way of viewing this story? On my iPad with Focus, I just get a blurred out screen when I visit Forbes.com now. I remember it used to show a 'please turn off your ad blocker' dismissible splash screen, but that seems to not be the case any more.

Not from Forbes but it should be readable: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/17/github-ceo-chris-wanstrath-is-stepping-down.html https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/17/github-ceo-chris-wanstrath-i... I seriously believe that Forbes is playing a game of trying to build the worst website in existence.

  I'd believe it. It's getting worse + worse. I'm adding it to my list of undreadables...

I view it through emacs-w3m, where it's perfectly readable. Not sure if you can run emacs on an iPad, though.

On desktop Safari with Ghostery, the blurred screen went away after about 10 seconds and it redirected to the actual article.

Like many content websites these days, Forbes loads in well under a second and is a great website if you disable javascript. I use "Quick Javascript Switcher" in Chrome, which just toggles javascript per-domain. I'm not sure there's a way to do this on iOS, though, so I'm not sure if this helps you.

For your consideration: long press the refresh button in Mobile Safari and tap "Reload Without Content Blockers."

I use Firefox mobile and always switch to reader mode which fixes it. I wish you could just turn reader mode on for the whole web.
