alt Hacker NewsDickovers are annoying -- tell me, what's your solution? For me, a combination of a) not patronizing these sites, but when I have to b) some ad blockers help. Nothing seems to work well though.

Auto reader mode in mobile safari for any site I recognise having read previously that has dickovers, cookie bars, poor typography or any other design issue that distracts me from the content.
e.g. science.org - linked frequently from HN and now every time I click a link to it, I’m dropped into a perfectly readable, distraction free view of the content.

My personnal solution to this is CTRL+W.

I don’t know if there’s a personal solution to this but the societal solution is to penalize dickovers at the SEO level.
I have a firm rule of leaving any website where I run into this behavior. No exceptions.
