umatrix is often useful on such sites. On the rare occasion that fiddling with parameters doesn't allow a site sanitized by umatrix and ublock to load, I go elsewhere, and umatrix saves those customizations going forward.

With some sites, "select all", "copy" and "paste" into a word processor shows the page contents unobscured by the "disable tracking protection" overlay. Usually even with the adverts you are expected to view in return for being allowed to read the page.

I use the reader mode button in Firefox for that. Pasting arbitrary HTML from already-hostile websites into a word processor seems like asking for trouble.
