I installed an ad blocker and now when I try to read their news I get:

We've got news for you

If you like our coverage, please disable your ad blocker.

Allow ads on FOX News

Guess I'll just rely on OAN and Newsmax form now on.

Using ad blockers is effectively stealing from content creators.

I use uBlock Origin adblocker and I see no ads on foxnews and don’t get any message telling me to disable my adblocker. Or you could try using Brave browser but if you prefer, you can just complain and post vanities.

Townhall is doing the same thing now.

There are ways to disable it on a case by case basis.

My browser is Defender (by Gab). I get no ads. Of course, I never go to Fox News so can’t speak to that specifically.

Content creators get roughly $0.001 per view from the ads. If you want to support a content creator then donate via their Patreon account and/or purchase their merch.

I like the ads better than some of their commentators, such as Hannity the Bore and Kilmeade the Zelenski-lover.

If you’re not paying for a product or service then you are the product.

I don’t mind reasonable ads but in some places its so obnoxious its literally unusable. You might as well just flip on the tv.

Maybe FOX is an adware farm that ties up the computer.

I agree. Some ads take over so reading is impossible.

I did and the first thing that come up on the Fox News slot was an ad which is why used an ad blocker on the Fox News slot to start with.

Gee I have a good ad blocker and that is apparently what Fox News and others object to. I’m not complaining. I’m just pointing out that there are other news outlets that don’t object to ad blockers. like OAN and Newsmax. Speaking of vanities, examine your own post.
