    Definitely don’t use uBlock Origin’s zapper mode to get rid of elements on the page that are blocking your view.

      Disabling JavaScript through ublock origin also does the same (horrible) thing, frequently.

      I’ve used ublock for years and only recently discovered the zapper and it’s my new favorite thing on the internet

    12ft.io almost never works for me tbh.

    Also, appending before something is called prepending, similar to how a prefix after something is a suffix.

    Thank you for the great advice. We should share this to a maximum of people. We don’t want people to get in trouble for violating copyright especially when done accidentally.

    Back during prohibition in the US, there was a product called Vine-Glo that was a brick of grape concentrate. It came with a warning: “After dissolving the brick in a gallon of water, do not place the liquid in a jug away in the cupboard for twenty days, because then it would turn into wine.”

      Truly awful. How will the news megacorp get its money? You wouldn’t steal the information required for you to be aware of world events? Right?

    I just hope nobody clicks the reader view button in the top right, it would be just terrible if they got an ad free, paywall free version of the site

    If a website sends all the data of an article to you, it’s yours. They can’t take it away. There’s no basis to make the argument anything is owed to the website at that point.

    Definitely don’t install the bypass paywalls clean extension or script so you don’t have to take a single manual action to get around them. That would be extremely contraversial!
