It's been 13 years of "no, you can't do in the phone's webbrowser the thing you can do in a PC's webbrowser, you need to install a fucking app". People just accepted it. The fuckers accepted it. (hexbear.net)

I am waging protracted people's war against installing apps and creating accounts in order to do things that shouldn't require a fucking app or account. I have used my browser's console to scroll wepbages with JavaScript when shitty sites would disable scrolling to force me to sign up. Death to enshittification.

Obviously, have the uBlock addon, but then make sure all the 'Annoyances' boxes are ticked, and even better install the webAnnoyances ultralist - https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances

Far from perfect, but it will override a lot of website's faux disabling of your scrolling, to save you the trouble of F12-ing.

I swear by uBlock, gonna need to check that list because as I run it now, there is the occasional soft wall that requires manual F12 intervention. Thanks, comrade.
