  Can't believe people don't use adblockers in 2025, together with enabled "anti-annoyance" lists. Or for the ones who used to be able to, but are still using a browser that removed that possibility, that you haven't moved to a different respectful browser yet.

    Firefox with ublock and I still get the modal.

      I don't. Have you enabled the "annoyances" lists in the ublock settings? They aren't on by default.

        Thanks for sharing that tip, no more annoyances for me!

    I have some pretty aggressive filters on Firefox/uBO, and relaxing my dynamic filters as much as I can conveniently this page still loads blank. It's not worth digging any further to figure out what's getting in the way (I'm assuming something in a static filter list)

    There is a drawback with using adblockers in that it is not as trivial to notice if a site is hostile. It is about the only reason to not use it I can imagine.

      uBlock Origin does show a little badge indicating how many resources it blocked on the current page. NYT shows a 9 for me right now, HN doesn't show any number at all, FoxNews shows ~30 but keeps growing every 2-3 seconds.
