Time for 13ft.io

Bypass Paywalls extension for Firefox.
Works better and for more sites in my experience.

It has seemed to work on less and less sites for me recently, to the point that I do not visited it as often as I used to.

But that tweet does sound like pretty bad news...

https://archive.md/ gets around way more paywalls. Highly recommend it.

12ft.io was performative useless garbage anyway, if any site can just ask your paywalling bypass site to not bypass their paywall, what is the point of your site

It stopped working on any of the sites I ever bothered to use it on anyway- most of them wisened up to the crawler bypass and simply made a 2 sentence tagline visible to crawlers that hit the SEO terms, with everything else hidden. Soooo nothing of value lost and Capital comes to claim its pie once again.

I used to use 12ft.io whenever I needed to read a paywalled article.

Is the "Bypass paywall clean" extension better than 12ft.io?

Some extra context / clarification from the thread re Vercel: they did warn him starting two weeks ago. They’ve stated he has a line open with customer support to get his other projects restored but that hasn’t happened yet.

Technically, if one were to disable the JS used for said paywall on a site, they would never see it again. I haven't personally done this but has anyone tried?
