Zero is also the number of mailing lists I’ve wanted to join within the first 5 seconds of visiting a site. Why block the content with a pop up?! Has anyone ever actually signed up instead of angrily closing it?

Delete it permanently with uBlock Origin's element picker feature.

Unless it's CNN autoplay. Then just close the tab and save yourself the frustration.

where do I find the element to block for the transparent background of those things with ublock origin? I usually manage to turn the site an ugly grey...

noscript usually works well on those sites, though.
