Hi,
has somebody an idea how to block advertising at www.derstandard.at ?
Because i get an error message (Please deactivate AdBlocking ...) with Pi-hole Blocking active.
Many thanks in advance.

It is up to providers how they deal with ad-blocking. In some cases a provider will ask you to disable your blocking.
You may find that if you pause blocking and use the site for a moment you can then re-enable blocking and continue to use the site.
In some cases you can enable the web browser's reader mode. This shows the main content without a lot of the scripts running. Depending on how they are handling blocking you may find this gives access to the content and sidesteps the notice.
The site may have a paid offering which will allow you to subscribe and view the content without adverts.
Adding to what chrislph mentioned, you could whitelist the site. Another option, which I have used with mixed results, is to open my browser developer tools, and identify the main element involved with detecting the ad blocker, and delete it. Depending on the site, this mostly works for me.
Thanks for the interesting hints.
Thanks for your hint. I whitelisted 16 domains which were blocked when i visited the mentioned site. Now i will disable them step by step to find out which domain especially causes the blocking.
Further how can i identify in the browser developer tools the main element involved with detecting the ad blocker?
Just remember if the ads are being served from the site you are visiting itself, blacklisting may not work as a solution.
Identifying the ad’s HTML elements, and effectively removing them may yield mixed results. A depends on how they are added to the page markup. Assuming you are familiar with accessing the browser developer tools, open them for the portion of the page displaying the ad. Then from the page elements display pane, navigate up the tree and see if you can find the topmost page element associated with the ad. Likely a
and delete that.
I’ve had mixed results with this approach, but it does work. The mixed results are probably my doing, and just not being interested in the other page contend enough to reload the page and try again. A lot of time the content I am after is available on a number of sites, so I just move along.
Have fun.
