Re:The Rise of Adblock Shaming by dvh on Saturday July 14, 2018 @04:53PM (#17532315)
Run a browser without adblock in virtual or headless setup with JS on (so that they can e.g. measure size of loaded images) with custom extension that will in read-only way (all code has to be in anonymous function so that it doesn't leak global variables, no changes to dom, no timers or intervals) extract articles and send them somehow out of this virtual so that you can read them. Extracting code would have to be tailor made for each site. IMHO doable. Alternative is copy paste article title to the Google and find news outlet that doesn't block the adblock.
