Or just use uBlock Origin and continue to enjoy functional websites: https://imgur.com/a/SgBJGjk https://imgur.com/a/SgBJGjk

  uBlock Origin is awesome, but those workarounds are temporary. The web has an usability problem that is worsening every year.

    uBO is temporary in the way Debian is temporary - i.e., in the short term, not at all. 80% of the top websites are going to be ad-free and working 80% of the time, for some value of 80%. It's true that some fraction will not work, but is any consumer software 100% reliable?

      I'm calling uBO temporary because adTech is evolving to evade adBlockers (in-domain tracking and ad obfuscation). Surfing the web is a nightmare for the average user, and the tech industry barely notices. The web has an unsustainable business model, and we need to address the issue.

        In-domain tracking and ad obfuscation have both been around for years. And uBO has evolved to address them. There is content-based blocking/filtering for in-domain, and script injection to defuse obfuscation. I'll agree there's an arms race between ads and ad blockers, but it's like DRM, in that the home team (ad blockers in this case) always wins eventually.

  uBlock can also disable js for certain domains and save that setting for the next time you vist, pretty handy on certain paywalled sites.
