I use "medium mode" in uBlock[1], which causes only 3rd-party scripts/frames to be blocked, not 1st-party ones. I could read the article fine, I had no idea there were issues with overlays with it, and it otherwise rendered fine.
Not blocking 1st-party scripts remove a lot of the tediousness of blocking scripts by default.
