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

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.

What adblocker are you using? ublock on Firefox does fine

Recently I’ve had sites block content just for rejecting cookies.
