Use consent-o-matic instead of ublock’s cookie list, much cleaner and works perfectly fine.
LIARS
Do you know EU law GDPR requires precisely that?
For someone interested in trying it out, it happened to me with the following article: https://edition.cnn.com/travel/japan-plane-american-passenger-bite-intl-hnk/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?
NoScript generally helps this. No JS means no uBo detection.
I block CNN by not visiting their website.
The only CNN worth anything is CNN International, and that still works fine with all ad blockers raised. But even CNN International started pulling the same stunt, it’s not remotely good enough that I would miss it either.
CNN’s docuseries are actually incredible, but they air on Max anyway.
“prevent this site from implementing required components that PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY”
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH…
They’re talking about GDPR cookie consent notices, which let you opt-out of advertising cookies and only accept required cookies (for user session, so that it can tell you’re logged in). The ad blocker is blocking the consent notice itself.
They’re doing you a favor
Yea, cnn.com loads just fine on my install of Firefox with uBo. Seems like a you problem.
Its probably a regional problem
you blocked the stuff we need to protect your privacy
holy shit fuck you you lying fuck
They could be telling the truth… It’s possible that OP is in Europe and the ad blocker is blocking a GDPR cookie consent notice.
The message explicitly mentions EasyList Cookie, which is described like this on https://easylist.to/:
EasyList Cookie List blocks cookies banners, GDPR overlay windows and other privacy-related notices.
I’ve had it happen to me for a week or two now. US based. I always just figure if a site doesn’t work with my blockers, then I really don’t need to see it.
Imagining a returning user who previously consented. If non essential cookies changed since their last visit, that user needs to consent again. But in scenario, just auto opt them out? I’m weirdly on the fence between this might be a reasonable block or a violation of GDPR for denying access to users who do not provide consent.
The law is done dumb. They should update it to say “the banner must always have a “reject all” button which rejects everything (including the legitimate interest) on it and it must not be hidden inside any further clicks”
I’m sick of having to search for that button under two sub menus or having to uncheck 20 check boxes. And what the hell is even “legitimate interest”? There’s nothing legitimate about any tracking at all. This phrase really offends me every time I read it.
The EU already updated it. Websites slowly follow to comply

Change your Useragent, none of these coders have been smart enough to code an ACTUAL DRM and have just decided to go:
“herrr, derrrrr , not CHROME??..bad :(” while it’s just reading a very easily changed string.
You want to send people back into an era without fingerprinting FEDS/GOOGLE?
Because you’re doing a wonderful job pushing users into tools typically used for anonymity/fraud ;).
I can open CNN without any troubles 🤔
CNN is blue hat fox news
CNN got bought out by a right-wing billionaire. It’s not even “blue hat Fox News;” it’s soon to be just the same thing as regular Fox News.
CNN was never lefty anyway.
It was such a weird turn when trump got people to think CNN was lefty. Just bizarro world.
But it was. With Don Lemon and the Cuomo.
I didn’t know CNN was supporting a fascist and actively trying to undermine our democracy. Oh wait.
Honestly CNN isn’t great and this screen is just a reminder to go somewhere else.
I just hope this isn’t a trend.
