Most paywalls know this and don't load the content at all. Don't do it because it doesn't work

My strategy with paywalls is to close the tab and go somewhere else. It works fine and is a great way to let the website owner this bullshit make them lose viewers and visibility.

Appending 12ft.io is not dangerous. Prepending it however is.

Sure, no problem... I'll just trigger reader mode in Firefox instead

I copy and paste the paywall link to archive.is. Most of the time they have a paywall-free backup which is readable.

Also definitely refrain from pasting in the URL into https://archive.is as it is definitely illegal to circumvent paywalls by pretending to be a google web crawler to archive the site

Don't copy the url and enter it in this site: https://byebyepaywall.com/en/

Thanks for the heads up. This will make sure we never commit such criminal activity ever again.

Just use https://GitHub.com/bpc-clone

Wow that's a lot of effort compared to just blocking CSS and javascript with something like uMatrix.
