What's wrong with this website. I don't see the button "reject". I'm not gonna accept whatever that is just to read this.
I finally found it, it's like 300 pages of individual rejections you need to go. Hard pass.
uBlock is your friend.
I have uBlock origin, it blocked 5 resources on load but it didn't prevent the "With our Pur subscription you can use heise.de without tracking, external banner and video advertising for €4.95 / month" popup.
You can use uBlock to snap the banner out of existence (it has a mode to delete elements from a website)
I just tried blocking elements one by one this way, and after 3-4 containers it's done, but there is no way to scroll the page. It's not that different from using devtools inspector, but when hacking sites that way, I usually can get scroll working. Either way, it's too much effort to read an article you're not even sure is really that valuable.
Usually there is just one element on the trasparent background you can delete
