AllMusic has implemented a new anti-adblock

There's a GoogleAnalytics object located at: http://zt.allmusic.com/allmusic/header
It activates the popup regarding adblock use. Try blocking it, or just block Javascript.

This solution here works for me but it requires disabling a whole bunch of filters unrelated to AllMusic:

It's almost equivalent to disabling your blocker, i.e. doing what the site is asking.

I'm going to ask here some questions: Is Allmusic a trusted site for the user?
If so, you should whitelist it Moreover, if you login to a site you probably have to enable most of its page code. However I have an hardened setup with no cookies or javascript and can browse it or do searches there.

The site loads a ton of third-party scripts and such so the question should be: Can you trust every party on that site and the requests to additional parties that will result out of them?
Some examples showing why your question is problematic: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-Benefits-of-blocking-3rd-party-iframe-tags#malware-protection

@IDKwhattoputhere No, obviously.
bam-7.nr-data.netis definitely New Relic tracking.

Whitelist the site, open the logger and then reload.
The point of an adblocker is not to disable it anyways so I don't see how that suggestion helps/fits in this thread.

Why edit?

Maybe I am not getting something, but the only thing I have to do to access this site,
is to disable cookies.
I can read the articles, listen to the streams, watch the videos etc.
The only thing I can´t do is logging in for obvious reasons.

It's back at it. Happening again.

Edit - Blocking first-party cookies on allmusic.com and sidereel.com works
