If it’s a news site or general interest site, it should work fine.
You could also use the Wayback Machine. It too takes a snapshot of websites and will show them. Type the URL into the box in the center of the page and the engine will give you the latest copy of the site. You can browse as you see fit.
3. Greasemonkey
If you use Firefox, you can also use a Greasemonkey script to circumvent AdBlock detection. If you use Chrome or Opera, you need Tampermonkey. Install the appropriate script handler into your browser and navigate to this GitHub page. Install the script using Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey and restart your browser. Navigate to the website as usual.
