May I introduce you to NoScript + uBlock Origin? I had to deactivate them to see what you're talking about. With them active no banner and the article was 100% accessible
On Mobile, I stayed on Fennec for at least a year to avoid Fenix... Collections are a bit of a pain to setup... but either way, if most extensions still work, why do they disable them by default? We went from thousands of extensions to about 10 with that Fenix "upgrade"
Yeah, no thanks. They are shady AF. They say nice stuff on the front about privacy and whatnot while in the back they are as bad as FB. Plus they act like a VPN so if I wanted that I would pay a normal VPN, but I avoid all of them because they are shady too. Open source and cripple the cross-scripts as much as possible without breaking usability is my mantra, hence NoScript + uBlock Origin
