not the first website where it happens but Firefox doesn't let me scroll down, I only see "Hello, World!" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mobile Safari, no scroll for me either. I can read it in reader mode, but I’m guessing there is a cookie dialog that is blocked or something

If you open the inspector (F12 or right click and select "inspect", then in the <body> tag delete the words " cli-barmodal-open" and it will scroll.

Block inline scripts in uBlock Origin and the thing scrolls again, I just had to do this in Firefox (nightly, i.e. 109.0a1). You'll want to have 'I am an advanced user' enabled to be able to do this but then again you already have that enabled, don't you?

In 99% of these cases it's a badly implemented cookie modal that just doesn't appear for some reason.

Dunno why they make it a modal anyway.

I've had a lot of stuff fail to scroll lately, most annoyingly certain forums.

I wonder what changed.

Works for me on FF mobile. Do you see the cookie banner initially?

no I didn't see it, I guess you and others with similar answer are right, I'll know what to watch for next time!

I'm running the latest version of Firefox 108 that was just released on macOS and scrolling works just fine for me.
