I went to thetvdb.com site yesterday and much to my surprise, they won’t let me in unless I subscribe or turn off my adblocker. Is there any workaround for this?

    What adblocker? I’m using Ublock Origin and have no issues.

      Using Wipr on iOS, which has no special abilities other than blocking ads using EasyList and don’t have any issues.

      Also, I don’t see why thetvdb would be so aggressive given their content is crowdsourced.

      I’m actually genuinely surprised that more people don’t know about uBlock Origin.

    Sorry everyone, you’re right. Ublock origin does bypass this. I realised I was looking something up on my wife’s PC last night who doesn’t have it installed but my PC does and I have access, thanks all.
