How are you getting around news paywalls? Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 04:44:55 No.833

I used to go in incognito, but now wapo, NYT, etc, aren't allowing that. How do you do it?

I don't read imperialist propaganda.

The newyork times has a paywal on their clearnet site, but, if you use the onion there is no pay wall. That's one way I get around their paywall bullshit. Also, having ublock helps; Some times pay walls get blocked by ad-blockers inadvertently. Some times you can even just stop the webpage download and it will load the text but not the wall.
umatrix also helps as you can disable JS which is what most of that nonsense rruns off of anyways.

Sometimes if you set your useragent to googlebot they disable paywalls.

On anything Chromium based, click on the lock near the URL, then on the gear (site settings/permissions) then find Javascript entry in the list and select Block from the drop down menu. No need for any add-ons and such.

In Firefox type about:config, search for Javascript, toggle javascript.enable false.

Of course this will only leave you with textual information only. Any maps/videos will not be accessible.

There are some tricky websites that won't show you any content if you disable JS tho. Accessing them through archive.is or whatever might help.

This is what I use, works well. Just make sure you enable bypassing after you install it, by default all the sites are unchecked.

For sites not supported by Bypass Paywalls I have a trick I use in firefox: press F9 to go into Reader View and you'll usually get the full article provided it was displayed before the paywall popup. I think this is a faster method to bypass JS vs. the proper way >>841 mentioned.

archive.is, generally.

This. I don't bother reading mass media, I am happier that way and honestly I feel more in touch with reality than most "informed" people.

Can you do that via manipulating the URL or html code?

This. Works like a charm

Sometimes adding a full stop at the end of the URL works.

On such sites you also use the "inspect element" tool of your browser to remove the paywall HTML nodes.

A nice thing about the archive.is solution is that you can share the link with other people, and then discuss a given article without explaining to everybody how to bypass paywalls.
