Cannot get to the page, from the wayback machine, the link works odd for me, but...

The page has been archived with a popup obscuring the main point of the text about Papua New Guinea. This rule in uBlock Origin cleans it up for me:

    ##article > div:nth-of-type(1) > div

That will probably break other archive.ph pages in the future, but you could accomplish the same thing by deleting the element in browser devtools.

Or you could be a non-techie like me and use no ad blocker etc....

Do you enjoy ads? If not, install an adblocker. There is no technical skill involved.

Chrome says no.

Of course that's why I use firefox now.

uBlock Origin Lite works perfectly well, FWIW. The features that only "full" (MV2/Firefox) uBlock Origin supports are fairly advanced.

Agreed. Still blocks all the ads, but is much more efficient. Zero complaints here.

Exactly the same for me, thanks for the link!
