Side note: Does anybody have an effective way of blocking this stupid Admiral BS, I've gotten it to a point where it consistently gives me the bypass option but I'd prefer it to go away entirely

Yeah, I tried that for a while, then those sites abused that privilege with horrid obnoxious ads so I decided to nuke any ads anywhere.
I’m certainly glad that your tolerance to ads is such that you’re willing to endure them for whatever media it is that you consume, and encourage you to disable your adblockers entirely (given that ads really don’t cost you personally anything), but as for me and mine, we will block ads with a near religious fervor.
Cheers!
Honestly, I don't use many random websites frequently, the ones I do tend to be pretty non intrusive in terms of ads (cbc, dobberhockey etc) so it might just be lucky on my part.
I dunno, I just think it's a race to the bottom. If everyone ad blocks then sites either don't exist, have to get more intrusive for the small sliver who doesn't ad block or sketchy partnerships.
