Will someone PLEASE think of the shareholders?!

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

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

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

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

we all need to consider, it costs money to fund quality journalism. we have to be aware of the many forces working against basic silly journalism, like what's happening at the school board.

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.

This must be like the disclaimer warnings on those "vine bricks" that were popular during Prohibition.

excellent psa

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.

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.

LOL the first trick is my go to. I regularly read Washington Post articles in notepad.
