Using a pihole. Is there any way to circumvent the "Ad blocker detected" Prompt that denies access to view site?
Just use ublock origin.
If you use only a pihole there should not popup any adblocker detected messages since you don't use one.
Edit: ok it seems certain websites do check if their ads get actually loaded. I recommend not using those sites or use ublock origin to block the anti adblock popup. And as far I can tell this is illegal in the EU. So I don't encounter this issues.
They most certainly do unfortunately, I speak from experience. Haven't delved into the specifics, but I suspect some websites check if a piece of JavaScript or other resource was loaded, if not a 'you are using an adblocker' message is shown. It is annoying, but as I can live without these websites they go onto my personal blacklist and I move on with my life. They need us harder than we do them.

The cookies being pre selected is illegal in the EU. Although I've seen sites that don't care and still enable them by default
The ones I've seen disable the 'consent' bits by default, but then there's 'vendor preferences' where 'legitimate interest' is automatically ON in 58 places (I'm not exaggerating; I have counted it) and you have to manually off all of them.
When you click the question mark at 'legitimate interest', all it says is some vendors are not asking for your consent to use your data but collect it based on their legitimate interest.
It's infinitely vague and it has the vibe of 'I'm not going to ask for it, I will just take it and I will use it for whatever I want anyway'.

Here in Spain they started making the option to either subscribe.... Or accept the ads/tracking.....
Same with a lot of news outlets in Germany. Although it's not that difficult for me to use only sites that allow disallowing every cookie or just bypass the cookie popup
Same in germany. That makes the whole thing even more useless, as everyone just is a subscription-based shit now....
Yeah I see it seems it applies other places.
I would be ok with it honestly if they like allowed to select sites but they did this "content pass", https://www.contentpass.net/en , which englobe a lot of sites and lot of them I don't want them to see a single penny from me because they are shit. If they fix that and I can pick and change it along the way am all in on it.

Real reason why people just stay on the same four big-data-harvesting sites now.
you guys can actually solve the captchas?
The first one I ever saw was put animals in the direction of an arrow. It wasnt always clear if they are supposed to be in that direction now and when you took too much time you had to do it again
Actually i never help google to work for free. Answer X-1 fields correctly and one totally not. Gotta do it twice at least, but be consistent. For one captcha they know the answer, for one they don't. You're working by helping them identifying objects in that one. Don't 😈

We need to develop more alternatives like federated social media or even completely make web services p2p. And then have them somewhat democratically controlled, or easily able to migrate to alternatives without cost of loosing network effects.
Especially something like amazon / ebay / paypal / ali would be awesome to replace with a "public utility" federated version. They tax so much of the sales and it all goes to psycho billionaires.

Oh thank god this is gaining traction because I've been having these issues for the last years more and more.
I use the addon ‘consent o-matic’ it automatically rejects all the cookies and it almost always works. Great addon to add to your (Firefox) browser.
Omg thank you i always only find addons that auto accept cookies but non that auto reject... Finally i can rest
Ghostery does this too if you've already got that
I use "I don't care about cookies" but it's detected and blocked by cnn. Does ghostery work?
Basically we are going to need more and more addon's and functionality to mitigate this shit. Ignore all cookies, delete all cookies. Basically code for many specific websites to make them usable again.
I've tried it, it works for me on firefox running on windows.
I'd have to check later, not on my PC right now.
