Is there any plugin or way to block forced registration (lemmy.world)

I have long been tired of the fact that I can not normally use 90% of sites without registration. I'm not going to create an account in order to read a post that interests me right now. But today was the last straw. Fucking Tumblr makes me create an account just to find and read 1 POST. (Sorry for mistakes, I am non English speaker)

If they keep serving a pop-up for you to register, find the JS function that does that and remove it. Or use NoScript and disable it.

But if they absolutely require logins then I'm afraid the only thing you can do is use temp emails

That's what I do, use uBlock Origin to filter the pop-up. Then most site disable scrolling and that can usually be countered by finding the "overflow: hidden;" and turning it into "overflow: visible;" (you can also use uBlock Origin to inject "overflow: visible !important;" into the page for it to stay persistent.
