   I read an article at the site with no problem, thanks presumably to not   
   having enabled the site JS at all. The site JS may be required if you   
   want to post to the site, have it remember which articles you read, etc.   
   But with these sites enabled, I still had no trouble:   
   * phys.org   
   * b-cdn.net   
   * content.tapnative.com   
   * sciencex.org.   
      
   En/dis/abling my BigInt NoScript polyfill/shim/hack surrogate made no   
   difference:   
      
       const bi = function (gbl) {   
   	if (!gbl.BigInt) {   
   	    const BigInt = function(n) {   
   		return Number(n).toFixed();   
   	    };   
   	    gbl.BigInt = BigInt;   
   	};   
       };   
      
       bi(window);   
      
   If there is some site function that breaks on BigInt, the above   
   userscript might help.   
      
   The site will probably force you to enable www.google.com for a captcha   
   check at login or at least sign-up, because the idiots have never heard   
   of hcaptcha. The other 3rd-party sites seem to be just for advertising.   
      
   However, Paypal does get stuck in a similar way, with   
   hcaptcha.paypal.com as does the CF turnstile captcha, almost certainly   
   not BigInt issues.   
      
   Testing with 2.53.21 as no later 32-bit version has appeared.
