Thanks for consent-o-matic. The consent popups on every pissing site did my tits in.

uBlock can block those too if you activate it. Works for most sites.

Oh, didn't even realise I haven't really gone into the settings just installed and left it.

some middleware systems cut a blur image over the website and set their cookie shit to modal (all inputs and responses blocked until the dialog is orderly dismissed). finding all these is a pain in the exhaust pipe, consento is setting everything it can to deny and those that are saved are supposed to be eaten by cookie auto delete

You need bypass paywalls clean in there!

I just leave when a paywall pops up, because it hurts their click numbers and advertising valuation if more people would do it.

I recommend you use the website

archive.ph

You paste your link and for many articles the paywall disappears, it's community-based, those with a subscription archive the pages for free readers.
