It didn't even cross my mind to check the context menu. Looks like this did the trick.

you're welcome
!
but a warning: some websites who add such a overlay which asks you to login or do something else (accept cookies is often such a case), prevent you from doing what i explained. if you block such a element, you only see a white page or can't scroll anymore since the website "fakes" the actual website content with a image. so if you don't accept their popup / click it away, you can't get past that.. even if you remove the popup or overlay manually.
often it needs a lot of fiddling around with Ublock Origin or stuff like disabling javascript, blocking specific .js files from loading etc.. and in really hardcore cases you need to patch javascript functions with a addon like greasemonkey as an example. but that then needs coding knowledge.
