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).

Why an ad blocker and other privacy tools for your browser are essential

I did it in 46 lines, and isn't perfect, but the idea behind it is scary. With the javascript code below, after any webpage with this right above the </body> tag, I can track anyone on the website's clicks.

document.body.setAttribute("onmousedown", "whichElement(event)");
function whichElement(e) {
  var targ;
  if (!e) {
    var e = window.event;
  }
  if (e.target) {
    targ=e.target;
  } else if (e.srcElement) {
    targ=e.srcElement;
  }
  var tname;
  tname = targ.tagName;
  var aan;
  aan = tname.toLowerCase().substring(0, 1);
  var vowels = ['a','e','i','o','u'];
  if(vowels.includes(aan)){aan = 'an';} else {aan = 'a';}
  var tvalue;
  if(tname==="IMG"){
    tvalue = targ.src;
    console.log('You clicked on ' + aan + ' ' + tname + ' element: "' + tvalue + '".');
    sendTrackInfo('UserClick', tname, tvalue);
  } else if(tname!=="INPUT"&&tname!=="DIV"){
    tvalue = targ.innerText;
    if(!tvalue){tvalue = targ.title;}
    if(!tvalue){tvalue = "Unknown";}
    console.log('You clicked on ' + aan + ' ' + tname + ' element: "' + tvalue + '".');
    sendTrackInfo('UserClick', tname, tvalue);
  } else {
    console.log("You clicked on " + aan + " " + tname + " element.");
    sendTrackInfo('UserClick', tname, 'Login Form');
}
}
function sendTrackInfo(action, name, value){
  if(action&&name&&value){
  _paq.push(['trackEvent', action, name, value]);
  }
}
function sendUserInfo(){
  var username = "Unknown";
  if(document.getElementById("username") !== "undefined"){username = document.getElementById("username").textContent;}
  if(ncuser != "Unknown"){
    _paq.push(["setCustomVariable", 1, "User", username, "visit"]);
    console.log('"'+ncuser+'"');
  }
}

Necessary tools

  • uBlock Origin - "NOT an 'ad blocker': it is a wide-spectrum blocker -- which happens to be able to function as a mere 'ad blocker'. The default behavior of uBlock Origin when newly installed is to block ads, trackers and malware sites -- through EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe’s ad/tracking/malware servers, various lists of malware sites, and uBlock Origin's own filter lists."
  • HTTPS Everywhere - "a Firefox, Chrome, and Opera extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure."
  • Privacy Badger - "automatically learns to block invisible trackers."

Optional tools

  • NoScript - turn off javascript completely or only allow the most trusted javascript sources.
