My strategy with paywalls is to close the tab and go somewhere else. It works fine and is a great way to let the website owner this bullshit make them lose viewers and visibility.

Wow, I do the same thing! How great!

Appending 12ft.io is not dangerous. Prepending it however is.

[-] fl42v@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 weeks ago

Sure, no problem... I'll just trigger reader mode in Firefox instead

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 weeks ago

I copy and paste the paywall link to archive.is. Most of the time they have a paywall-free backup which is readable.

But I use chrome! /s

Thx for sharing.

[-] sibachian@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

honestly, this is a great point in favor of arguing a switch to FF. if all the plugins that are now getting wiped from chrome move over to FF and tell users they are now availablr on FF, and users advertising just use X plugin on FF to solve glaring issues with chrome, then there is no incentive to stick with chrome anymore.

or maybe this has been the thing all along and i'm just slow 😅

Also definitely refrain from pasting in the URL into https://archive.is as it is definitely illegal to circumvent paywalls by pretending to be a google web crawler to archive the site

Thanks for the heads up. This will make sure we never commit such criminal activity ever again.

[-] apj2k36@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

Don't copy the url and enter it in this site: https://byebyepaywall.com/en/

Q: "Why is journalism dying?"

A:

[-] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 weeks ago

Because modern "journalists" only know how to copy and paste from other "news sites" and random social media posts.

[-] style99@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

Journalism has been dead for ages. Now, satire (like The Onion), that's informative.

What's next, you'll tell me Burger King News coverage of The Hamburgler wreaking havok on the city is false too? If we don't act now to increase our anti-hamburgler budget all of Frace as we know it will be gone! We can't afford to not act!!!

Have you clicked that URL?

[-] Linssiili@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

You need to go to the repositories tab in order to find the repos for chrome and firefox respecively

[-] oldfart@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Right, the private profile message fooled me. Sorry

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm on mobile and it was working last time I tried
