NoScript generally helps this. No JS means no uBo detection.

CNN is mostly RW trash now so, why bother.

It’s a bullshit excuse to probably hobble archiving.

Use consent-o-matic instead of ublock’s cookie list, much cleaner and works perfectly fine.

Do you know EU law GDPR requires precisely that?
Vash63@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No, it doesn’t. The banner is only needed for you to accept the cookies. It’s completely fine to just block the banners or not show them, just the user can’t accept the cookies, so CNN can’t use them.
CNN would rather block the user than lose out on the chance to save those cookies.

What exactly does the Cookie Law require?
The Cookie Law requires users’ informed consent before storing or accessing information on user’s devices.
This means that if you use cookies you must:
inform your users that your site/app (or any third-party service used by your site/app) uses cookies;
explain, in a clear and comprehensive manner, how cookies work and what you use them for;
obtain informed consent prior to the storing of those cookies on the user’s device.
In practice, you’ll need to show a cookie banner (also called cookie notice) upon the user’s first visit, implement a cookie policy and allow the user to provide consent – unless your website uses solely exempt cookies, which is highly unlikely. Prior to consent, no cookies — except for those exempt — should run or be installed.

For someone interested in trying it out, it happened to me with the following article: edition.cnn.com/travel/…/index.html
It works at first, but if i refresh the page, it gets redirected to the block pave

Just tried using only Firefox and uBO, that link and the main page load correctly first time and on refresh. Checked with default filters only and default plus annoyances and both were fine. Do you have any other ad blocker / content filter running at the same time?
Delta_V@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What region are you trying to access it from?
kinnce_of_p3rs14@lemmus.org 1 year ago
Eu but it’s solved now
Delta_V@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m able to connect to and use cnn.com from Berlin using Firefox with uBlock and NoScript.
Still kinda funny that they’d ask you to lower your defenses in order to “protect” you.
SaltySalamander@kbin.social 1 year ago
Yea, cnn.com loads just fine on my install of Firefox with uBo. Seems like a you problem.
Mango@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Oh yeah, OP just totally made all of this up. Mhmm.
See you in gymnastics!
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Its probably a regional problem
Aurix@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Works for me.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ok see you never then cnn lol

Using FF and uBo, confirmed user agent to be Mozilla Firefox.
This url (edition.cnn.com/2024/01/16/business/…/index.html) does not work. Try going to edition.cnn.com and it will work, clicking any article seems to bring up the issue.

The first link works fine for me on mobile (Android, FF beta, uBo).
HarbingerOfTomb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I still use chrome for the moment with AdAway on mobile, adblock on PC… I accidentally went to CNN the other day with adblock turned off… my God, have you seen it lately? It’s a god damn hell scape.
rem26_art@kbin.social 1 year ago
CNN's website is a hellscape without adblock.

CNN has been shit since 10 years ago. Their apogee was the first Gulf War and it has been down hill since then. Unironically, go to Tiktok if you want the latest happenings, usually right as it happens by the people it is happening to.
Bondrewd@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Excuse me. Do you even know what Tiktok is?
