Side note: Does anybody have an effective way of blocking this stupid Admiral BS, I've gotten it to a point where it consistently gives me the bypass option but I'd prefer it to go away entirely

I've never seen this. Just checked ZDNet's website and it didn't show anything about my ad blocker.
I block ads because they are such a distraction that I can't read, and because auctioning off arbitrary javascript to the highest bidder is just asking to be hacked. If ads were not animated, and had no external or obfuscated javascript, I might not block them.
But as is, I'd rather close the tab than enable ads.
It might have to do with the aggressiveness that I block ADs, I have ad blocking at the device and network levels. Since I also have a way to over-powered pfSense server I pretty much don't care about all those giant dnsbl lists that have the "Performance hit warning" lmao
