There was a post recently for how to bypass paywalls and one of the suggestions was to prefix 12ft.io to the url.

So I created a shortcut in iOS to do just that and that can be used directly in Safari from the share sheet.

Instead of sharing the shortcut through iCloud, I’ve posted the screenshot here so you can create your own. After creating the shortcut, click on the Share button on any website with a paywall, select the shortcut name, and the website would open in a new window without the paywall.

    Doesn’t choosing reader mode in safari accomplish the same thing?

      It used to but it hasn’t worked for me the last few months. The paywalled pages show the same content as is visible without the reader mode, including the text saying that I need to be logged in, turn off adblocker, etc.
