what privacy setting? i never get that popup.
techcrunch is ok imo.
the verge on the other hand won’t load for 3 seconds if i have an ad-blocker turned on. so i stopped visiting it since their ads are 90s level of terrible.

If you "manage" your settings to block everything it'll just be back next time.
As a consequence, I haven't read a techcrunch article since June 2018.
Interesting, I have never seen that and even tried in an Incognito tab and with Safari which I don't use regularly.
I'm guessing you're not in the EU then? I see this everywhere.
I don't know, I use an old browser with javascript disabled, and I seem to read techcrunch articles just fine.
techcrunch is using oauth, one of the absolute worst offenders.
They should be banned from hn altogether.
I assume you're referring to the media company 'oath'[1] not the auth framework 'oauth'[2]?

My bad, I've read it incorrectly. It's Oath.
Nitpick: they aren't using OAuth, they are owned by Oath (now Verizon Media).
