I just use Bypass Paywalls Clean, or failing that, archive.vn.

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

And God forbid if someone uses archiving sites like archive.is!

Truly awful. How will the news megacorp get its money? You wouldn't steal the information required for you to be aware of world events? Right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If you just want to be aware, you could often read the headlines for free or follow news sites like Reuters, AFP, or AP.

They are primarily wire news companies and are a great way to get reliable, truthful and often free news. If you want to read longer articles, you should pay if you want to have articles to read in the future.

Back during prohibition in the US, there was a product called Vine-Glo that was a brick of grape concentrate. It came with a warning: "After dissolving the brick in a gallon of water, do not place the liquid in a jug away in the cupboard for twenty days, because then it would turn into wine."

not NOT use firefox' reading mode.

I just hope nobody clicks the reader view button in the top right, it would be just terrible if they got an ad free, paywall free version of the site

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Click reader view and refresh, without leaving reader view.

I do that a lot on my phone but keep forgetting it's a thing on desktop for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Lol same, keep wishing I could've a text to speech on PC just like the mobile version... And it's actually there.

Thank you so much! I already did it! (Smash Ctrl+P as fast as possible)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

feds coming fo yo ass now you better run

If a website sends all the data of an article to you, it's yours. They can't take it away. There's no basis to make the argument anything is owed to the website at that point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

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.

Will someone PLEASE think of the shareholders?!

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Sometimes I'm scrolling and my thumb gets lazy and goes sideways and I upvote or downvote things unintentionally.

It's the only explanation that makes sense

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Firefox Immersive Reader button

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Huh. I just Ctrl+P before the paywall comes up. Then I can print to a PDF and view it the way it was meant to be.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

That's exactly what the 3rd post said.
