I always break the ctrl key right off my keyboard when I get a new computer so I don’t accidentally do this.
I do that with the windows key…
not NOT use firefox’ reading mode.
LOL the first trick is my go to. I regularly read Washington Post articles in notepad.
I’d like to prepend that this dude is correct.
Yup. They went full OG AdBlock and got WaPo and other major publications to prevent them from working.
You can mimic what they did by adding the Google Crawler user agent to your browser but I just use archive.is
Archive.is is definitely not an alternative that people should use in this situation
Nor archive.ph, which appears to be the same site? Idk how that works. Definitely not a site anyone should go to, though.
Nor archive.md nor archive.today, which appear to be run by the same rogue actors and serve the same content as archive.is and archive.ph. Beware.
Or the appendix of a book
I got my prependix taken out as a kid due to an infection.
honestly i wish we called the gallbladder the prependix
Science may not call it that, but we can.
Ever had someone ask to prepone a meeting?
Precrastination is when you get too far ahead on a group project because you’re avoiding another awfuller thing.
We know what cum and precum are. But what’s postcum 🤔🌌🤔
Creampie, or santorum depending on which orifice it leaks out of…
For poorly paywalled sites, just hit F9. Displays screen reader text. Accessibility, y’all.
DO NOT DISABLE JAVASCRIPT USING AN EXTENSIONS BECAUSE THAT WILL MAKE TRACKING STOP WORKING AND BYPASS PAYWALLS.
It will also simultaneously render the vast majority of the internet useless, and not only the shitty parts that you don’t want/need anyway.
Javascript is overrated and more websites should be static with minimal interactive bs. But that’s just me, a cynical user tired of intrusive pop-ups and predatory advertising scripts.
I don’t disagree, but that’s not how it currently is unfortunately
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!
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.
That’s exactly what the 3rd post said.
Prepend.
How have I never heard this before now?
Not a programmer I assume?
I’m a programmer, but I feel like I’ve heard this outside of this field.
Explain more please?
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
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.
Firefox Immersive Reader button
And never, EVER disable JavaScript on that website and reload the page! Not even if your Ad blocker lets you selectively do it.
my browser always asks if I want the simplified view which always bypasses the paywall
Simplified view is great on mobile. I just wish you could enable it manually!
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
I do that a lot on my phone but keep forgetting it’s a thing on desktop for some reason.
Lol same, keep wishing I could’ve a text to speech on PC just like the mobile version… And it’s actually there.
Click reader view and refresh, without leaving reader view.
Why? What does that do?
