AG fixed it with $cookie modifier, is there an other way since uB0 doesn't support it?

Unable to reproduce using default settings/lists.

You will have to investigate this yourself given you are not providing troubleshooting information.

@superlex you linked filters for other pages ?!

AG fixed it with $cookie modifier,

You link to a commit that doesn't make use of #cookie modifier, it's the remove-cookie scriptlet, which is supported in uBO.

Anyway, closing this as this is an unactionable report, the troubleshooting information should always be provided, not removed, otherwise it's for OP to investigate on their side.

@mapx-
yes, because the issue (and the fix) was the same.

@gorhill
I can no longer replicate it in any of three sites, sorry.
Btw, AG make use of both #cookie modifier and remove-cookie scriptlet, the first one to prevent the cookie form being set, the second one to remove it (but it works only if you reload the page).
In other words, after you scrolled some articles:

• using only the scriptlet you get the subscription request, but it's removed after you reload the page;
• using the $cookie modifier you don't get the subscription request at all.

Anyway, closing this as this is an unactionable report, the troubleshooting information should always be provided, not removed, otherwise it's for OP to investigate on their side.

You're right, sorry.

After navigating to how many articles is the overlay supposed to appear?

I see a cookie named unauthenicatedArticleLimitReached with value false in dev tools.

The code that make use of that cookie is in https://movieweb.com/public/build/valnet-footer-article.db7311a2.js

After navigating to how many articles is the overlay supposed to appear?

After 5/6 articles.

I see a cookie named unauthenicatedArticleLimitReached with value false in dev tools.

Yes, and after you reached the limit it's set to true.

The code that make use of that cookie is in https://movieweb.com/public/build/valnet-footer-article.db7311a2.js

You're right, infact the only way I found to remove the overlay was preventing trackUnauthenticatedArticleViews(), but it still wouldn't let you continue reading.

Which country are you when accessing the site?

Italy.
Do you think it could depend on this?
