Ironically the linked site doesn’t show content if you’re using an ad blocker.

What adblocker are you using? ublock on Firefox does fine

Edit: I’m not using ublock origin. I forgot I was using my iPhone with AdGuard.

Allowing all scripts it works for me, blocking only third-party scripts it shows a popup ad, blocking scripts of the domain too and inline scripts it works and uses less cpu.
