It was some kind of mailing list solicitation from the author (I actually didn't even bother reading it, just frantically closed it as quickly as possible), so not blocked by an ad blocker. I'm running ad blockers and pihole and I

Kudos to the creator for the responsible advertising strategy. The "hey -- you're using an ad blocker" message was thoughtful and non-guilt-tripping. Ads are clearly delineated as such, and the actual ads aren't spammy

Not a great solution if your window manager groups application windows together (e.g. gnome shell and osx).
