- mrb 6y agoOn this National Geographics page, in the inspector just select the <body> and in the CSS pane remove the "position: fixed" and "overflow: hidden". This allows scrolling.
- bigiain 6y agoI'll give an annoying popup/paywalled page one chance by trying reader mode, which often works. I'm extremely rarely motivated enough to bother trying any harder than that to read an article the publisher is actively working against me being able to read.
- genocidicbunny 6y agoI didn't even consider reader mode to be honest. I've been using the disable-javascript thing for so long it's become the automatic go-to when I get such popups.
