I use a very aggressive set of filters to block ads, popups, tracking cookies, and other annoyances.
About once a day, I need to temporarily disable it because otherwise a page won't load.
Almost every time I do, it turns out that the page wouldn't load because … I hadn't dismissed a cookie-consent banner.
