Unusual to see adblocker detection on a website actually recommend using a blocker. Normally sites try to deny access to people with adblockers.

And this is (one of the reasons) why I despise the WordPress block editor. Whenever I have the misfortune of opening a block editor page, CPU use goes through the roof. Firefox's about:performance shows 410% CPU utilisation for it, and Task Manager just shows it solidly maxing out on all cores. Does the same thing on my Mac Mini and MacBook, so it's not just a problem with Windows.

You'll find it under:
