“””When browsing on the “normal web”, it is increasingly required to disable at least part of your antifeatures-blockers to access content.
Most of the time, I don’t bother anymore. The link I clicked doesn’t open or is wrangled? Yep, I’m probably blocking some important third-party JavaScript. No, I don’t care. I’ve too much to read on a day anyway. More time for something else.”””

I do as well, even for something I want to buy, if I click on it to check the size or something and a pop-up hides the item, then I move on, they won’t even let us look at the display windows anymore.

Yep, I move on and look elsewhere for it. I was checking out at an autoparts website one time and when I got to the checkout financial page my NoScript was showing 6 hidden third party scripts also gathering my private financial information simultaneously.

In no way should any extra parties be gathering that info, the seller and the financial processor only! So I entered nothing, scrapped the purchase, and called their legal dept about it. Sent them screen shots...

More need to get off their butts and do the same thing...
