Argos1746yThat site is an example, when the retarded client makes developer to use JavaScript to do evil things, you can use a plugin to disable JS on their site and continue watching though ;D
-
@Argos there might be plugin but its still fucked up. Why would i need to share my data to watch an article online?
-
@ThatPerlDeb Because making and hosting that article cost them and they want something from you in exchange for access. They might have ads or other source of income, but that does not mean they can't ask for more.
-
@arraysstartat1 i do very well understand that serving such pages cost money and that ads might not be sufficient but to completely deny access if i deny their access to cookies/ data collection? Doesnt seem reasonable to me

Condor324966yUsually disabling (or preferably, keeping disabled) JavaScript on sites like that does help a lot. Other than that, fuck them. There's a special place in hell for data-hungry cunts like that.

620hun83706yJust remove the wrapper in the inspector for the modal, and remove the overflow: hidden attribute from the body. This works basically always regardless of the modal used.
Not on your phone, though.
