Why even view pirated low-quality content, hidden behind a paywall? I mean, that’s what too many newspapers and magazines offer. Unfortunately.
I’ll pop in to defend the Winnipeg Free Press as one of Canada’s few independent papers. They still have their own journalists breaking stories.
Finally, some reading material devoid of Winnipeg!
Because I want to suffer, apparently. 😂
If you arent already, highly recommend ublock origin. Great broswer extension thats pretty much required to use the intermet nowadays if you dont want to pull your hair out.
Though some of theae websites still have popus like this built in unfortunately. But Ublock helps a lot.
I was already using ubo and Adguard, but these damn popups still came up. I’m going to tweak my filter list to see if I’m missing something.
If it’s a site I visit frequently, I tend to manually block undesirable elements. But this was a one-off.
If you are on Firefox, the ghostery addon is really nice as well. It blocks ads, trackers, and cookies, plus gives you information about what’s actually on the site (what the cookies are, how many it wants to shove on you and why, etc.)
It won’t block all the popups, but it does auto-decline some stuff, so you don’t get cookie notifications, for example.
Never-Consent Clicks you out of all consent dialogues in favor of never tracking. This unequaled feature adds convenience to each website visit and acts like your globally active privacy advocate towards content providers.
I’ve used Ghostery before, for a while, actually! I love the extra details it provides.
Since I have a paid Adguard account, I use that system wide. UBO is left on because I like the element blocker it uses.
Give it a try again and see if it gets rid of that top popup. I never get notification requests like that.
The subscribe one will probably still be there though.

Well, shit! I just installed it on a secondary, clean browser and did a before and after. What do you know? No popup when using Ghostery!
Now I have to figure out if it’s a list that isn’t enabled in the other blockers, or if they just suck. LOL
Oh, this causes my control+w reflex.
I’ll just assume the article had nothing worthwhile to read. Thanks for sparing my time!
If you haven’t already, would highly recommend looking into Unpaywall! Really helpful when it comes to viewing articles that require you to pay a subscription or sign up before viewing. Doesn’t always work but it gets a good amount! Plus it’s open source which is always a added bonus
Using it on FF.
I had it running. I also had Adguard (system wide) enabled. I need to tweak my filters 😂
