Offer Route Around Twitter's Modal

[jonathansampson]

Description

When an unauthenticated user visits Twitter.com, and begins scrolling through recent posts on a channel, they will soon encounter a modal inviting them to sign-up/in to continue. This modal obscures the content on the page, and cannot be dismissed.

Brave should consider/explore a method for clearing the modal, and enabling users to continue viewing the obscured content. If a user wishes to sign-up/in, they can do so from the sidebar.

Steps to Reproduce

1. In a private window, navigate to https://twitter.com/brave/
2. Scroll down the page until a modal is presented

Expected result:

User should not be interrupted by the non-dismissible modal.

Reproduces how often:

Easily.

Desktop Brave version:

1.45.127

It may be enough to simply block a particular onboarding request to prevent this issue entirely: https://twitter.com/konarkmodi/status/1595176344266035201
