There is a chrome extension that removes those "Enter your email to read" popups. No idea how it is called though and my google-fu is not charged yet.

Does it work on mobile?

I'm not sure if this would work, but I use Adaway on my android phone, with the following lists (subscription) added:

Note that this requires your device to be rooted.

This blocks a LOT of those stupid floating boxes with social buttons, and quite a few of those email boxes for me. And using this method, I don't see any ads or floating boxes on this website.

I'll remember that for when I root my phone. I didn't when I got it, and it's gotten harder and harder to crack loose the time to root it.
