    I get around paywalls by disabling JavaScript when I read the news

        Holy crap, I’d never thought of that. Does it work pretty reliably?

          voyager automatically opens links in reader mode for me and it works about 80% of the time

          (but this article it doesn’t work for)

          • Interesting, my experience with reader mode to get around paywalls is just about the opposite - it works may 20% of the time. Probably different sites that we’re visiting.

      I have JavaScript disabled by default on all pages, I only activate it if I need to, as per the privacyguides recommendations, but on this site at least, it still won’t load the article. If I want to read it I’d have to either register or use the archive.
