    You would never use DuckDuckGo as your default search engine and then type !archiveis in front of your urlbar visiting a news site.

    Firefox has a button that shows up in the url that kind of turns the webpage into an e-book-esque view that pops up for most articles (especially Pay Wall)

    Doesn't NYT cut off most of the article now? I used to just be able to disable JS but that didn't work anymore last I checked.

      Yeah, unfortunately 12ft.io didn't keep up with the paywall arms race. It's too bad because it was one of those things that a lot of people knew about, many of whom may now just give up when it doesn't work even though there are other options out there.

      As one example, there's now also the 13ft ladder: https://github.com/wasi-master/13ft It's like 12ft but self hosted. Sounds really good but I can't vouch for it yet.

      I mostly would just archive a paywallrd page with archive.is (aka archive.today, archive.ph, etc.) and that worked great and also helped take traffic away from asshole sites that paywall content. Unfortunately, archive started requiring a cloud flare captcha when archiving a page. This is a deal breaker for me since captcha totally deanonymizes you and is used for tracking purposes and even to train AI. So it defeats a good chunk of the purpose of using an archive site.

      Still, there's a good chance that someone else already archived the page you want to see, so putting the url in archive.is search can be enough to bypass the paywall.

    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."

    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
