you said you weren’t using an Ad Blocker but getting pop-ups saying you were. it’s because the pi-hole is blocking ads at a DNS level so the site detects that and sends that message instead.
uBlock will block the whole visual element FTW.
God, how far Thinkgeek has fallen. Why would a retail site even need ads? You already there to do shopping. I don't think I've bought anything since they got bought out.
Try getting some kind of sponsorblock, too. I didn't realize how annoying those little messages were until I didn't have to manually speed through them.
If you have an android phone you can look to NewPipe.
