  Babylon Bee forces you to accept cookies to use their site. Worth avoiding.

    I shut that site down as soon as I saw that. Gross.

    As with all silly internet block BS, simply reload the site and hit escape before the cookie banner loads.

      Or just inspect element + press delete. In some cases you also need to then delete an extra gray overlay and re-enable scroll on the base html tag, but takes 30s

        Seems like a lot of work to browse a site that makes a good joke once every month or so.

      > reload the site and hit escape What exactly does that do? Which web browser? I’m on mobile right now, so can’t test.

        I'm on Firefox and it did nothing for me. The popup came up so fast between me refreshing and hitting escape. Alternatively, you can disable JavaScript on the website. That lets me view it.

        I would suppose it interrupts the page load after streaming the HTML and before loading and/or executing the cookie banner‘s javascript, meaning the content is there but the cookie banner will never open.

        On Chrome on desktop it stops the (slow) javascript running which is what actually loads the blocker. You need a fast finger.

    > Babylon Bee forces you to accept cookies to use their site. Worth avoiding. Use uBlock and block javascript by default with NoScript. I saw nothing about cookies and just got the article.
