I couldn't get to their site today.

When I googled "forbes site ad blocker," the first 10 hits were from Forbes.com talking about how adblockers were necessary and how it wouldn't kill web-based advertising.

Yeah, no problems reading articles in Chrome. And I run two kinds of adblock too.

Also I saw that they had a negative Star Wars review. I only read the tag-line. "too much like the originals" seemed to be the main point.

Same, and it blocks me.

On the latest version of Firefox with no adblockers all I get is an empty grey window with "Forbes Welcome" as the name on the tab.
I think the real problem is their website is crap.

Chrome: grey nothing
FF: I get a 3-second countdown timer and some stupid platitude before I click through and get to the actual Forbes site.
IE: Same as FF.
I occasionally check articles there. Their site is shit.

I am now getting the gray screen on Chrome. I've made no changes. Before I was seeing the screen in the first thing I linked up there.

Forbes asked you to turn off adblocker to view their articles, then when you did they gave you malware in ads.
