Just disable it if a site breaks. I haven't seen one, and I am all over the internet. Browsers have drop down menus or icons in the tool bar that make it easy.

Just disable it if a site breaks. I haven't seen one, and I am all over the internet.
Browsers have drop down menus or icons in the tool bar that make it easy. Even my bank gripes about not allowing popups, but if I forget to disable extensions, it works fine.
I treat exceptions as exceptions, and not as the rule.
Enjoy the web like it was before dot com!
- bookofjoe 1y agoI have no interest or time or desire to disable anything when I'm online. Much easier to simply take things as presented. Plus then I'm forced to reenable the blocker: way too much effort for lazy me. I likewise don't want to deal with drop down menus or tool bar icons when online. Again, too much active involvement required. I'm focused on site content, not presentation. I AM enjoying the web like it was before dot com — at least in terms of simply arriving there and doing what I like to do.
- k310 1y agoLet me say one thing that works for me on iOS. I use an app called Sheriff that I instruct to enable or disable (the default is to enable) javascript and cookies on a per website or per domain basis. Set it, forget it. If something screws up, I open the app and change it. I think of it as a javascript and cookies firewall, in terms of interaction. https://primatology.xyz/sheriff https://primatology.xyz/sheriff
- bookofjoe 1y agoAll that effort just to use my phone or iPad: much too much for me. Why would I even try to enable/disable javascript and cookies when 1) I don't even know what javascript is/does 2) cookies don't bother me Plus downloading an app (Sheriff) I don't know anything about: what if it contains malware?
