The site is actually asking me for login now via Google or something else. In recent times, many sites like Howtogeek or MakeUseOf have kinda paywalled unless you login. It works properly with adblocker (uBlock Origin) once I login though.
The point is its a shitty thing to do and I would rather not give them any attention especially since the entire thing is explained in a blog post on bitwardens site.
