If I want to read https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/19/post-american-world-is-now-full-display/, I have to use archive.vn which allows me to go past the paywall (https://archive.vn/yTP0x). However, archive.vn is still proprietary so I installed ArchiveBox which is free software but does not go past the paywall. Does anyone have any solutions?
I use w3m for browing articles because it’s not capable of making popups.
That said, any browser without Javascript will probably be about as good. You can make shortcuts to turn off Javascript, or there’s the badwolf browser which comes with shortcuts to turn Javascript on and off.
This doesn’t work as well, like I said in another comment, I live in the EU so I have to forego the GDPR rights to see the article.
Javascript isn’t connected with the law.
Also, I don’t see any provisions in the GDPR for ‘forgoing rights’. If they’re making it difficult to see content without a bunch of JS, the site’s probably just not complying with GDPR.
