Between that and the porny adds >they often run, I refuse to go anywhere near wowhead without >ad-blocking. Yep, it's happened time after time on that site, every time I started to feel bad about using them so much with adblock enabled, another case would come up and I'd just continue blocking all the ads. As it is I now have their patron membership so ads are just plain removed for me - they have a nice deal where if you gain enough rep for helping with their content, they consider you've contributed enough and give you patron for free, and as I run their addon and contribute comments now and again, I got there, great :-) Tbh I'd consider paying for it too, given how very much I use it, but they only reduced the price down to a reasonable level very recently, before that it was way too high, and by the time they set it at a level I'd be happy to pay, I had it for free anyway.
