This article seems like it would be very interesting to me but after dismissing three intrusive popups in my mobile browser I stopped trying to read it.
Does anyone know of a mobile browser friendly way to read this kind of site without being constantly bombarded? It's exhausting. It seems like the sort of problem that would have been solved, but my attempts to discover the solution have failed.
- SCNP 4y agoThe 'Kill Sticky' plugin for Firefox works pretty well for me for most stuff. Most popups darken the screen, though, and it doesn't handle that. It's very useful to me nonetheless. If you don't use Firefox, you can go their site and copy/paste it to your bookmarks.

- truffdog 4y agoFirefox+uBlock is enough to make it readable on Android
- tommy5dollar 4y agoThere's just a cookie prompt and then a newsletter sign-up a little later? I don't think there's any constant bombardment, if there is for you I'm interested to know more.
- Blahah 4y agoI dismissed 3 overlays. 1. cookies 2. email newsletter 3. cookies again The constant bombardment was more in reference to the state of the web generally. Popups and overlays that aren't a result of an interaction I've chosen to make are exhausting for me (and people with ADHD generally, and many others). I don't go back to sites that have them, but would be happy to read (and often pay for) the content if that wasn't the context.
