Off topic: I simply can't find how to opt out of tracking on HuffPost. I get a GDPR popup and the opting out path leads endless cycles (with occasional captcha solving).



Works for me, don't know if my savior is uBlock Origin, uMatrix, or I Don't Care About Cookies...

I just keep using browser extensions like uBlock and Ghostery (caveat: it seems they also have a "we sell your data" opt-out) and every GDPR pop-up I just click "OK", knowing the extensions will block them. (Honestly, more believing than knowing, so maybe I'm not the best person to talk to about protecting data...)


HuffPost works without javascript. Use Quick Javascript Switcher or similar extension and disable js for the whole site.


Sounds like a scam to me.
