You would never use DuckDuckGo as your default search engine and then type !archiveis in front of your urlbar visiting a news site.

For poorly paywalled sites, just hit F9. Displays screen reader text. Accessibility, y'all.

do not right click inspect element on the paywall window and then delete the code & re-enable scrolling (i always forget how to, but don't google it)

the downside is that sometimes half the article is neutered anyway

One person downvoted? Are they stupid or something? Asking for a friend.

Definitely don't install the bypass paywalls clean extension or script so you don't have to take a single manual action to get around them. That would be extremely contraversial!

Just use this. Ignore the Russian it's safe.

Thank you for the great advice. We should share this to a maximum of people. We don't want people to get in trouble for violating copyright especially when done accidentally.

we all need to consider, it costs money to fund quality journalism. we have to be aware of the many forces working against basic silly journalism, like what's happening at the school board.

there's no new big wall of information from the NY Times. ask them, what's the scoop? my opinion, take a moment. wtf are you doing?

Brave browser has a filter to bypass paywalls. Works on desktop and mobile versions. Definitely works on NYT as I just read something there today. And of course has built in adblock. You can also add additional filters and adblock lists.

Bonus: print to PDF in Brave to share an article with someone else. It retains all the graphics relevant to the article and cuts all the junk and ads out too.

brave has a filter you can add to auto-bypass paywalls already right there to be selected after install

excellent psa

This must be like the disclaimer warnings on those "vine bricks" that were popular during Prohibition.

LOL the first trick is my go to. I regularly read Washington Post articles in notepad.
