Yeah 12ft doenst seem to work on any sites anymore. Does anyone have any alternatives that work? I'm already familiar with the airplane mode trick but that's not always fit for purpose.

Add this to your custom filter list.

Bypass Paywalls Clean filter. Works for me with local papers and others like NYTimes etc.

Do I add this to my Pi-hole?

Eh, no.. I meant in the settings in uBlock Origin, which you would already have installed as an addon in your browser of choice. Choose open dashboard, it opens at filter lists and down the bottom is 'Import', just below 'Custom'. Add the url to import, it'll do its thing and you'll have a new entry in 'Custom'. Sorry, don't know much about Pi-Holes.

Oh right! Already use Ublock will give this a go.

No prob! Coupled with zero ads, it's like it used to be back in the day, just.. well, an article with some images. Good luck!
