Run into this type of website blocking more and more, mainly on news sites.
There is a dark shade over the page story, but not the mast head, one can see the story but not scroll to read.
Recently saw this trying to read a story on the Nashville bombing on Daily Beast site.
Sometimes the same site will load with this and sometimes not.
Any way to circumvent this type blockage?

Re: How to defeat this type blocking
That site, for me at least, sometimes has an overlay image box (with main box shaded) that offers a subscription deal. Must dismiss to read/scroll main page. Maybe something is blocking the overlay from completely loading on your visits, so it can't be dismissed.

Re: How to defeat this type blocking
I use a bookmarklet to remove the non-dismissible overlay on some sites.

I may have to disable a few style declarations in the Page Inspector utility to show the scrollbar.
i.e. Tools > Web Developer > Inspector (ctrl+shift+c)
Disable style declarations
