the overflow property in HTML controls what happens in a given element when its contents extend past the element’s boundaries, in other words when the contents overflow.
Overflow has 4 possible values (AFAIK): visible, scroll, auto, and hidden, where:
visible does not clip the content and lets it extend past the parent element,
scroll clips the content and adds a scrollbar so that the user can see the rest of the content,
auto adds a scrollbar only when necessary,
and hidden clips the content that extends past the parent and doesn’t add a scrollbar.
Some paywalled/loginwalled sites load all of the article content regardless of whether the wall is up or not, so when a paywall pops up you can just go into the Inspect tool (usually CTRL+SHIFT+I) and delete the element containing the paywall, and/or, as some_random_nick said, change the article container’s overflow property from hidden to scroll, letting you see all of the content
Also, don’t forget to set
overflowfromhiddentoscroll.I’m gonna need you to elaborate on this because it sounds super helpful, but I don’t understand
