politico.eu - rendering issue?

https://www.politico.eu/

A huge EU flag appears (various sizes) on top of the main page and most (all?) articles.

After that it sent me to a "We value your privacy" popup to sign over my user data to them (for their snooping) in order to continue.
it did give a choice of continuing without agreeing, but it I could not find a continue without agreeing in that page, just more of "Agree"

My thoughts based on the error messages shown:
If their embed-min.js fails to load because they are providing the wrong MIME type for it as well as not allowing the browser to sniff/guess its correct MIME type, then essential JS functions are likely not loading for it. They should address that first.

The problem is the SVG image inside the "EUROPE" button.

It wants aspect-ratio; here's a userstyle workaround.

Code: Select all

@-moz-document domain("www.politico.eu") {
  svg {
    width: 1.5em !important;
  }
  .navigation-mini__menu-list .navigation-mini__menu-item-icon {
    width: 1em !important;
  }
  .header__edition-nav .navigation-mini__toggle.is-button.has-inline-icon .button__icon-secondary,
  .header__edition-nav-alt .navigation-mini__toggle.is-button.has-inline-icon .button__icon-secondary {
    width: 1em !important;
  }
  .content-header-new__title .content-header-new__title-icon {
    width: var(--wp--custom--spacing--6);
  }
  .content-header-new__title .content-header-new__title-icon--before {
    width: var(--content-header-icon-before-size);
  }
}
