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?
Welcome to /c/piracy
No netflix or streaming services landlubbers allowed, this is pirates territory.
Is there a way to run the bypass-paywalls extension on android? Seems even with Firefox nightly it needs to be on the Firefox extension ‘store’
My Recommendations:
The rest MAY work depending on the website…
In alternative to installing another extension try this ublock origin list first: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llacb47/miscfilters/master/antipaywall.txt
If an article is behind a paywall I tend to just stick it into outline.com and hope that it’s supported. For example
I already know outline.com, it is also proprietary, I’m looking for a replacement for that as well

I didn’t work for me, I already tried lynx before and I got the same results (without --dump). I’m in the EU so that’s probably why it worked for you.

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.
I wish there was a way to open urls directly in reading mode with Firefox
Why not just use an addon ?
