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).
