It seems like there's been a lot more websites that have been deploying anti-adware blocker software in the past few weeks. One that stands out in particular is called Admiral (see websites like GameRant for an example).

I have tried Adguard Plus and Rethink DNS (using the instructions from FMHY), and neither can prevent the popup that stops you from reading the site. I assume there's user scripts out there, but at this point, I don't even know what to search for on Greasyfork.

Have any of you figured out a workaround?

I second this... disabling javascript is such a clean internet experience and fixes those ablock popups

@lord-adendaloth @vikinghoarder @PersephoneDives 99% of websites don't work, and this gets another 9 every 5 years. If you use Noscript, you can selectively disable scripts.
