- LightBug1 7mo agoI shut that site down as soon as I saw that. Gross.
- Traster 7mo agoAs with all silly internet block BS, simply reload the site and hit escape before the cookie banner loads.
- vasco 7mo agoOr 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
- Forgeties79 7mo agoSeems like a lot of work to browse a site that makes a good joke once every month or so.
- latexr 7mo ago> reload the site and hit escape What exactly does that do? Which web browser? I’m on mobile right now, so can’t test.
- win2k 7mo agoI'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.
- chrisldgk 7mo agoI 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.
- Traster 7mo agoOn Chrome on desktop it stops the (slow) javascript running which is what actually loads the blocker. You need a fast finger.
- palmotea 7mo ago> 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.
