ADBLOCKER

I have internet news sites that ask that adblockers be disabled because they allow me to read their articles without paying subscription fees. I have not been able to allow these sites to not be blocked by Firefox but have to go to Microsoft Edge to read these sites. How can I allow these sites permission and avoid being blocked?

Hi Jerry, Firefox doesn't have an ad blocker, but the Enhanced Tracking Protection may block some ad servers because, well, they track you. If you need to make an exception, click the shield icon at the left end of the address bar and check whether turning it off makes any difference.
