    The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don’t use a blocker, but this morning I couldn’t read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don’t have.

      Maybe your browser is blocking tracking or other cookies that adblockers also target.

        It’s not on a browser as such. I use the Google News app on my phone. I can’t believe it would block anything at all.

      The most common one I’ve seen on Google News uses DNS checking, too. If it can’t resolve an ad domain, it assumes you’re using an ad blocker.
