All three of them, and many more in the background.
the gift that keeps on giving.
You should never bow down to these websites. If they want to force you to disable your ad blocker, you should find another service because that means that the service you're using doesn't give a shit about you. If someplace asks me to disable my VPN or add block, I disable them from my brain and never go back there again.
To add to this, for those of you in roles that deal with email, think of every time you've dealt with a vendor or partner who've told you to "just whitelist *@ - it's not in the contract or terms of service, but it's a requirement".
The correct, considered and professional answer is, of course, "Fuck off and die." Without exception, equivocation or apology.
This site is one such example, but at a B2C rather than B2B level.
Not everything has an alternative, and thankfully the core website works 95% wit adblock enabled.
What is it

Damn that sucks but it's the niche sites that can get away with it
The trick is to whitelist just enough to make it work, and if doing that brings ads fuck that site it's getting blocked entirely.
idk why people are downvoting like it's literally just a showing of the modern state of the Internet
It isn't an all that interesting post in the first place and many people claiming they are so stoic and smart they would whitelist by code inspect, for something which is a single click is wild.
Kids these days. When I was a young man the Internet had millions of graphics and flashing neon images on every single webpage. And we were grateful to wait 5 minutes for that seizure inducing minefield of constant scams and viruses. In fact, you weren't leet if you didn't have at least 12 browser add-on search bars, all of which were constantly consuming your data!
We walked so they could run I guess... Well, run Linux anyhow.
