I don't think you can get around that. What I do is that if the site requires a registration, or has a full-screen cookie banner, then I just close that tab. End of story.
If I can't view it easily, then I will just not view it.
I've started doing a modified version of this too. If there's any kind of roadblock in front of the content, I'll ask myself to be honest about how important it's likely to be to me... and maybe like seven or eight times out of ten I'll just close it and move on, no regrets.
I apply this thinking to captchas as well, though my skip rate is probably a bit lower.
Have you seen bugmenot.com?
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.
Thanks for the tip, I should try this!
