uBlock origin with default settings seems to load their "content" fine and without ads. If that changes, I'm sure one of the optional filters like "anti-adblock killer" will be updated accordingly

The Firefox version of uBlock Origin supports inline script tag filtering, which allows to work around Bild's block (and other such attempts).[1]

Chromium-based browser do not support inline script tag filtering, but you can still block all inline script tags at once, and the site will load fine, though with some broken functionality.[2]
