The publisher is asking ad-blocking users to provide personal information to access its site

More reasons to avoid Forbes.

Fun fact: on a lot of sites, that overlay is just another element you can select and block. It brings me great joy to block those crybaby windows.

Is there no app that will, for example put "-Forbes", in all your future searches?

In addition to blocking the overlay element (as mentioned below), most sites like this are run by greedy fucks who have a separate set of rules for Google, so that their content will still show up in search results (and then disappear when a real user clicks on them). Knowing this, you can use any user agent addon and set your user agent on that site to be the Google crawler bot.

They can't be as retarded as to think this could ever possibly work, surely something else malicious has to be going on behind this.

Wasn't Forbes was the site that asked to be white listed from ad blockers and then "accidentally" installed malware on every visiting user's computer?

If that's the case, can't you just provide bs information? For example, I am Micky Mouse and I live on 8 Mile Road.
