       | Those EU cookie shenanigans instead are pretty hard to remove. I
       | have 3 extensions and they don't catch nowhere nearly to all of
       | them.

       | Feels like internet before adblocker.

         | frozen and broken until you disable the plugin and interact

         | you became blind to them. Now you're forced to interact with
         | the popups.

       | Wonderful page, I completely agree. Especially the in-page pop-
       | ups are an atrocity that Firefox still hasn't solved, despite
       | having announced plans to do so (any tips are welcome, this shit
       | is unbearable).
       | 
       | One thing I like about lobste.rs is that it included archive
       | links. A step further would be one that directly pipes the
       | article through some "reader mode" site.
