Tried 45 news sites with nothing blocking. the middle article sent 464 of its 650 requests to ad companies and trackers. one NY Post article made over 4,000 requests for a single story, which is a bit insane.

made a page about it if anyone's curious, there's a fake site full of popups you can switch the blocker on for:
