Loads of trackers and annoying *unblock the ads* thing.

doesent seem to allow catched pages which is incredibly suspicious, and blocks people for entering when they got adblock, and on some computers (including mine), im blocked from entering EVEN when i disabled or even removed adblock
also connects to tracking sites (example: contextual.media.net) which may invade your privacy!
Helpful
Any site that does not allow ad blockers should have a red rating. I should be able to surf the web how I want without your company pushing standards onto readers. I refuse to turn off my ad blocker.
Helpful
Doesn't let you in if you have an adblocker, and has malicious adverts, go elsewhere for information!
Helpful
Won't let you in unless you disable ad-blocking, which has lead to users being infected with malware/unwanted programs from infected ads. Lots of trackers so there is a privacy risk too.
Helpful
makes you disable adblock, hosts malvertising. ironic that they write articles on malware.

The site is spammy and a privacy risk, for the reasons others are stating here. Beyond that, Forbes is the journal of American fraud. Scammers (financial) and those that wish to exploit the paranoid and gullible think about how the gullible could make their scams even easier. Then Forbes publishes whatever as a "best practice". Bottom line: if Forbes recommends something, you can bet your last thin dime that it helps someone committing fraud, and it's not good for you.

Requires me to turn off my ad-blocker. I do this, and my computer starts churning like crazy and my browser crashes.
I do not trust the ads and scripts on this website.
Helpful
Blocks anyone using ad-blockers which are vital to deterring malware these days.

The site wants you to disable adblock. Suspicious.

forced to remove adblock, SUX guys !

Huge site and magazine.
I enjoy it a great deal.
Very reputable with no scammy or malicious advertising.
Helpful
It doesn't allow to visit it if an adblocker is enabled, what appart from disabling advertisements it disables their invasive tracking and data collection.

Decent information. however, I refuse to use the site now because of their ad policy. Never turn off an ad blocker to use a site.
