TGP seems to be working normally though... I'm not sure how those rules work, never edited them manually myself, but still, a bunch of conservative news names there...
I use the desktop version of ublock origin. I right clicked it's icon, then selected "Trusted Sites" near the top of the screen. Then I added www.thegatewaypundit.com to the list, clicked on "Apply Changes" and now the pictures are back.
I suspect this is one of the annoyance filters to deal with annoying "give us your email" popups, seeing as it only seems to block a very specific line of Javascript.
I have the annoying filter enabled. I don't remember if TGP normally makes such an annoying popup.
Pi-hole is just about the best thing you can do, as it affects everything connected through it on the network.
Honestly, I'd only allow ads from a few select creators I enjoy (such as Shad) but I'd rather donate to them as directly as possible where the cut isn't as awful
indeed, there are pi-hole block lists for ads, of course, but also malware, spying (including microsoft) and so on. Plus it helps with mobile ads in apps that you can't otherwise block.
I've never had a problem with ublock origin blocking anything I wasn't telling it to explicitly block, and, on android you can add ublock origin to mobile firefox which is a game changer.
ads are not just an annoyance they are a security risk and a vector for malware and spying. TV commercials are horrible as well
ublock origin and pi-hole
Found this on ublock origin's base rule set

Another day, another slap in the face...
