Prefix the whole url with `archive.is` e.g. `archive.is/https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/2026/01/the-world...`

This will work on most article sites to show you an archived version of it without any of these annoyances

Install uBlock Origin and you won't see any of that

uBlock doesn’t handle euro cookie banners by default

Yeah, I think you have to enable a couple extra filter lists to get rid of cookie banners and some of the other annoying popups that aren't strictly "ads"

Interesting. I'll try that out. Seems like a massively harder technical problem than just blocking ad domains.

They filter based on HTML IDs/classes, so it doesn't catch every single thing, but it does catch most, and UBO offers an easy way of selecting ads/banners/etc and blocking them
