| I had to go through a cookie request, a subscribe to us popup and then had to close another popup telling me I could only read two articles. |

| Prefix the whole url with `archive.is` e.g. `archive.is/https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/2026/01/the-world...` This will work on most article sites to show you an archived version of it without any of these annoyances |

| Install uBlock Origin and you won't see any of that |

| ▲ | squigz 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, I think you have to enable a couple extra filter lists to get rid of cookie banners and some of the other annoying popups that aren't strictly "ads" | | |
| ▲ | terminalshort 31 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Interesting. I'll try that out. Seems like a massively harder technical problem than just blocking ad domains. | | |
| ▲ | squigz 28 minutes ago | parent [-] | | They filter based on HTML IDs/classes, so it doesn't catch every single thing, but it does catch most, and UBO offers an easy way of selecting ads/banners/etc and blocking them |
