But it makes the whole website unusable because they’re using Java or something similar for the popup and the majority of the rest of the site. So blocking the popup blocks a lot of other things, too.
I’m pretty peeved about their way of going about this.

* Strict mode in Firefox (add exception for TTC website)
* Privacy Badger extension (change its settings to block only cookies for "pagead2.googlesyndication.com" instead of blocking whole domain)
Is there an alternative addon that works similarly to TTC? Unfortunately, This addon is no longer functional to me due to the fact that each time I visit the website I'm constantly getting harassed by the site with the following message:
I can understand that the site needs $$$$ to keep the site going, but I don't agree with forcing people to disable their adblockers approach so I'm hoping that theirs an alternative source.
Tbh. I kinda wish that every website had same amount of Adds as TTC has (1 - 3 banners). That way Addblocks would not be needed in a 1st place.It’s no big deal. In my opinion, TTC has provided a free, extremely helpful add on that the community enjoys using. They deserve to be rewarded financially for it.

At some point it simply went too far and every website nowadays has soo many of them (adds), with pop-ups, videos, sound etc... and it slows my laptop down... substantially. That is why I use Addblock on my laptop... not because I hate adds...

As a content creator with a website, I was intrigued by the addition of TTC's adblocker notice.
Ads are a great way for people to support your site for free. Unfortunately, the ad services really push more ads and more visible ads to be profitable. I've been frustrated with my limited control over the selection of ads and number of ads that appear on my site. I more or less have to turn the ad load slider down.
I find it a juggling act. When a site's revenue is dependent on ads, the more people using ad blockers, the less money you get. If you don't meet the ad services threshold totals for the month, you don't get any revenue until you do.
It's good to see that TTC is looking at alternatives. I'd hate to see the site go away.
My take on TTC is that it is their site, and this is how they now want to run it.
Since they made this change, I look up items list prices on Discord, several of the social guilds I belong to have a tab that lets you type something like !price motif 107 and get a listing of minimum, average, maximum price from TTC for that item.
