Babylon Bee forces you to accept cookies to use their site. Worth avoiding.

As with all silly internet block BS, simply reload the site and hit escape before the cookie banner loads.

> reload the site and hit escape

What exactly does that do? Which web browser?

I’m on mobile right now, so can’t test.

I would suppose it interrupts the page load after streaming the HTML and before loading and/or executing the cookie banner‘s javascript, meaning the content is there but the cookie banner will never open.

I'm on Firefox and it did nothing for me. The popup came up so fast between me refreshing and hitting escape.

Alternatively, you can disable JavaScript on the website. That lets me view it.

Or just inspect element + press delete. In some cases you also need to then delete an extra gray overlay and re-enable scroll on the base html tag, but takes 30s

Seems like a lot of work to browse a site that makes a good joke once every month or so.

I shut that site down as soon as I saw that. Gross.
