      What do you do for the sites that disable the scrollbar, though? I’ve had it happen a few times where you can block the prompt, but then you can’t even scroll down to view any more of the page.

      My only solution at present is to shrug my shoulders and say “Guess we’re not reading anything from this site anymore.”

        You can try either:

        • enable uBlock Origin annoyance lists, they are more comprehensive than just blocking the popup manually, I use them and haven’t seen this kind of popups in a long time
        • your browser reader mode
        • an archived version of the page
        • If you really want to read this and none of the above works you can try to open the inspector and find the element that has an overflow: hidden property and remove that property, but that’s way more involved

        Usually they’re just adding the overflow: hidden css property to whatever container the article is in, which you can just remove from your browser’s debugger

      IME the element picker always forgets what it picked after you reload the page. Usually too much work.

        element picker always forgets what it picked

        Then you are using the element zapper mode and not the element picker mode
