inert element attribute

[ph00lt0]

Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
• This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
• This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO is the only extension.
• uBO uses default lists and settings.
• using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

More and more websites block you from interacting with the website if cookie banners are removed using the
inert element attribute. Removing this element makes the websites function again. uBlock Origin does not offer a way in the current filter options to remove such attributes.

A specific URL where the issue occurs.

https://www.asnbank.nl/home.html

Steps to Reproduce

1. apply asnbank.nl###cookieconsent-a
2. go to website asnbank.nl###cookieconsent-a
3. notice that you cannot interact with the website
4. open developer tools and remove the inert attribute
5. notice you can interact with the website again

Expected behavior

Add filter functionality to remove inert attributes in the DOM to stop websites from being frozen when blocking cookie banners.
