    Bypass Paywalls Clean

    Extension allows you to read articles from (supported) sites that implement a paywall.

    You can also add a domain as custom site and try to bypass the paywall. Weekly updates are released for fixes and new sites.

    Chrome: https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean

    Firefox: https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean

    Adblocker filter (& userscripts): https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters

    PS GitFlic only has Russian interface (use like Google Translate).

    CTRL + P and article mode enters the chat

      Reader mode also works beautifully on mobile for sites that’re otherwise friendly but have a clunky layout on width-constrained windows

        Reader mode is basically the lifehack that makes the web not suck. Combined with ad blockers, the web is pleasant. Every time I see a default plain vanilla browser on a web page I’m shocked how some people live.

      And refreshing the page while still in reader mode.

        I’ve been using that method for years now. Works a good number of the time.

      I still have no idea how that works. I should probably read the instructions

      Also, don’t forget to set overflow from hidden to scroll.

        I’m gonna need you to elaborate on this because it sounds super helpful, but I don’t understand

          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

    Slamming ctrl+P and reading the print preview works in many cases as well

      Owner’s unknown, wonder if it’s just an “information wants to be free” minded person

      Edit: that’s what Wiki said but the Internet seems to think it’s some guy from New York

      I always get stuck in a captcha loop with them, but I have an Apple News subscription so I can just open in News most the time.

    I wish I was fast enough to do that or Ctrl + p.

    At least sites like archive(dot)is and stuff exist.

    Sometimes you xan just select all, copy and paste in word too

    If you want keyboard shortcuts in your terminal ctrl+x e opens the current command in your editor. When you save you can then run the command.

    I don’t think this works with all shells but it’s easy to set up in modern ones.
