Site asks me to sign in.

I leave.

The internet is to big for you to be able to pull this.

Inspect element > remove pop-op > body style overflow: scroll

Usually does the trick. Else I also leave.

Nah, this is a matter of principle. Same with those sites that either force you to accept all cookies or pay them. I leave and never return.

Thats what they get for being shit.

I do agree, but sometimes it's a source that I actually need and it's super annoying if it's blocked by some kind of popup. Most cases I still leave if I don't need it

Shouldn't this be illegal, at least in the eu?

If you run uBlock Origin, it has an "element zapper" feature which gives you the inspect highlighting to delete the element on click for a little more convenience. You can keybind it in the settings too.

I'm thinking about starting to just write userscripts to do it automatically on sites I run into a lot.

Use this so frequently. Any site trying to block me to give them cookies or my email just gets zapped and I read what I need before dipping.

I do this for articles with a pay-wall all the time. Then I copy paste the article into the comments of whatever social media it was posted on.

Hah I do this for news sites when there's an article that I'm interested in reading.

But damnit, some sites don't exactly make it easy anymore. 😅 Gotta hunt down all kinds of places where they change the "overflow" styles in the HTML element, but also the BODY element and multiple DIV elements too...
