Getting around magazine paywalls
Getting around magazine paywalls
Do you folks have any tips on how to get around magazine and newspaper paywalls? It seems like the old tricks are becoming less reliable and it's frustrating - especially given paywalls seem to be becoming more stringent at the same time.
Check 12ft.io
0I tried it on two sites - New York Times and Financial Times. NYT gives the error message "12ft has been disabled for this site" and FT doesn't remove the paywall. Nice idea, shame about the execution. :)
0I had the same issue with NYT, but I managed to get in using archive.is! :)

Have you tried the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension? There's a version for Chrome and Firefox. It works for many sites but not everything. I think Firefox removed it from their add-ons repository but you can install it manually. There's a good article on that decision here and also a method to use uBlock Origin for this purpose.
