📢 Public Service Announcement 📢

When a website blocks you from right-clicking, hold down the SHIFT key and right-click again. Works in Firefox and Google Chrome.

And when a website blocks you from copying an image or some text, remember, it's just a website: right-click and choose "Inspect", which opens the source code at the place where you clicked. Then right-click there to copy the "outer HTML" and paste it into a text file, then copy the bits you wanted. Alternatively, open the developer tools, go to the "Network" tab, reload the page, and see all elements – text, images, scripts (there are filters above the table, use them) – load. Mouse over to see them, right-click to copy them.

#UBlockOrigin also has a the helpful #zapper tool to remove overlaid semi-transparent (or not) blocks that prevent clicking the text or the dialogues that summon you to accept cookies before you read.

I have aliased zapper to Ctrl-! and I zap out any request for cookies, e.g. (But sometimes the scrolling down of the page is then impossible, I've never found how to restore it).

Answers CTRL-I (Inspector Mode tool in browser) + see picture AND F9 Reader Mode... 

@cyclotopie @albertcardona @bovine3dom

2 Things as your answer(s):

🔴1🔴 Press CTRL-I (Inspector Mode tool in browser)
+ click lines similar to pictures to remove noScroll overlay (lines above or below sometimes)
(as you test removing lines press CTRL-Z to undo changes and try the next line)

🔴2🔴 Try F9 key for reader mode (cleaner / disabled access page) on ANY page with adverts / cookies to get rid of crap.
