Ironically the linked site doesn’t show content if you’re using an ad blocker.

What adblocker are you using? ublock on Firefox does fine

Allowing all scripts it works for me, blocking only third-party scripts it shows a popup ad, blocking scripts of the domain too and inline scripts it works and uses less cpu.
