Gregory's ServerI probably shouldn’t tell you that whenever you encounter a paywalled article on the Internet, or a popup that blocks the article from you unless you sign up or disable your adblocker, you can put the URL in archive.is and read it there comfortably, so I won’t.

@vi I have a browser plugin "bypass paywalls clean". Chrome: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean Firefox: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean iOS/AdGuard: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters @Susan_Larson_TN @vi I read about this the other day so went to implement   @vi But if you can pay for reputable journalism, please do. It’s people’s jobs. And of course, support journalism. @vi Weren’t “they” testing paying by the article, some small amount like 99 cents? I guess subscriptions pay for so much more than the onesie-twosie articles per month.  @vi Elinks, it also can't render the ads and other cruft. It'll run in termux on android.   @vi I find it infuriating when online 'press' link to an article on their site and you go there to look at it and when you get there there's ten minutes of hoops to jump through before you are allowed to see a word. It's counter-productive; I just back-out straight away and don't bother. I'm not their fucking statistic.  @vi And I didn't read that you could paste the URL into archive.is and be able to read the article, so your secret's safe with me. In fact what secret? I don't know what you're talking about.   @vi OMG that's amazing. I've used that site for archiving but I never thought of this!  @vi something seems up with their captcha stuff. multiple browsers it seems to keep restarting @vi you probably shouldn't also use https://12ft.io which also provides this service For any site where JavaScript can be disabled and the useful content remains readable, you can trivially bypass all that anti-ad-blocker garbage because it relies upon JS to function. Thank you, JavaScript!  Sadly, the archive.is captcha won't function unless I turn my browser and network adblockers off. But honestly, it's worth it. Thank you for posting this. @vi I, for one, would "never" use such a service (which clearly works really well!)  |
