A friend shared this #FF #addon... #Firefox #plugin #paywall #extension

Are you a person, who likes to inform yourself from a wide range of sources, but are hindered by pesky paywalls on various news sites?
Then you might dig this Firefox add-on:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bypass-paywalls-clean

(or search in your browser with Ctrl-Shift-A for Bypass Paywalls Clean by magnolia12345)

Tested it with a few news sites, where previously I was prevented from seeing articles without a login. Seems to work! ;-)
(You should, however, consider financially supporting independent journalism, where you see value!)

Also in some cases, like the New York Times, using its Tor ‘onion’ site displays articles in full, that are behind a paywall on the WWW.

Another helpful trick I found to be helpful, when faced with cookie notices and other shenanigans:

  • Use F9 for reader mode (both regular Firefox and Tor Browser)
  • Not only will this present a much friendlier and, well, more readable version of the site, but also skips right by most annoyances from the ‘normal’ page display. F9 again to exit reader mode.
  • Best used in conjunction with F11 (full-screen mode; F11 again to exit).

an alle, die #Firefox in Verbindung mit #Noscript verwenden:

Noscript funktioniert nach dem letzten Update nicht!!! Also wenn ihr noch nicht geupdatet habt, dann wartet noch damit.
Wirklich, so toll ist die neueste Version auch nicht.
Ich hab jetzt nicht ganz verstanden wo das Problem liegt, aber offensichtlich hat sich in Firefox was grundlegendes geändert, so dass alle #AddOn s umgeschrieben werden müssen. Das passierte meiner Meinung nach ohne Vorwarnung, was mich total ärgert, denn sonst hätte ich kein Update durchgeführt. Nun stehe ich da, mit nem Browser der alle #Javascripte ausführt und das gefälltm mir überhaupt nicht.

Fix your #Firefox with "Disable #IndexedDB"

source: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-indexeddb/

This plugin disables IndexedDB, with the goal of enhancing #privacy by making your #browser a little harder to uniquely fingerprint. Please be warned, websites that depend on IndexedDB might not work when this plugin is enabled. You can always click the icon to disable/enable the plugin. Green means IndexedDB is disabled, and red means it's available for websites to use. By default, this plugin will enable itself every time Firefox boots up. If you'd like the disabled status to persist across reboots, there's an option allowing that in the plugin preferences screen. That about covers it all. Hope you enjoy the plugin.
