Hacker News Reader

I’m not seeing that (Firefox anti-tracking?) but it‘s trivial to hit the reader mode button in the address bar: it’s a better experience anyway.

If you wait long enough, the obstructing popup goes away ;-)

One of the rare occasions where I endured such pain because I was so interested.

The way the website is setting the title is weird. On my Debian XFCE4 toolbar, the title is showing in two lines.

Looks ok for me, with adblock+umatrix: https://i.imgur.com/UABzai9.png

> GDPR popup

I will die on that hill but that "GDPR popup" is actually a pre-GDPR, obsolete cookie law popup that is not compliant with GDPR anymore (GDPR requires ability to deny cookies) and should be removed, as it amounts to nothing and is a pretty much a dark pattern. (I upvoted you btw, because I agree 100%)

Also completely broken from (I think) US residential IP addresses (wget'ed html does not contain page text at all).
