People have always been trying to find ways around the paywall. Turns out I was able to download my library app (LibrariesNI, I don’t know if other UK libraries have the same benefits, but I assume they would) somehow dug out my old childhood library card details (I had it saved on Google Drive because of school I guess from when I was a kid?). Anyway I logged on, it prompted me to download an app called “Libby” which then offers 30 day access to pressreader which seems to be infinitely renewable… at least I hope it is
Anyway, thought you should know
I usually just click on Reader Mode and everything a bot wouldn’t see disappears, leaving just the article text and images.
Doesnt work for everything, but most of the time it does.
That’s a good point I forget about reader mode. Thanks for that :D
In Firefox, you can force reader mode (if the button for it isn’t showing up, for example) by adding
`about:reader?url=`to the beginning of your URL in the address bar.
