I got that message in the right column with ublock origin- I could still read the article. The problem with sites that do this is that they don't tell you which scripts to allow in order to see advertising. There are a bajillion scripts loading, including facebook and twitter and instagram and vine, and I'm not going to allow those. But when I enabled the other stuff then no ads showed.

I don't mind seeing ads, and I'll even click on them if they are interesting, but it's going to be on my terms. Maybe I should open wired in a container or something.

After further review, I opened in a new container, turned off ublock origin and ghostery, and saw zero ads. Hmmm.
