Might be of help to others who have the same problem I did on here: when using AdBlock you can barely get to your mail, your account etc. as then you get the Mingle popup reminding you you're using AdBlock.

AdBlock DOES have the option to be disabled per page.
For me this didn't work.

Then I discovered that when I reinstalled Windscribe (VPN proggie) that it has an inbuilt Adblocker!
And EVEN when you are not using Windscribe as a VPN when on Mingle, this Adblock is active and working and causing that annoying popup to appear.

I could not find a way to switch it off in Windscribe settings, but I now have disabled the extension in Chrome settings.
And Lo' and behold: I can get to my account and mail again!

It does mean I have to enable Windscribe again in Chrome settings if I want to use it as VPN, but I'm okay with that.

Bear in mind if you have a separate AdBlock like I do you have to pause that on those pages as well.

But at least now I can read my mail again.
