I see 12ft.io is down and has been for a day or 2. Any alternatives that work as well (tried a few over the years). I have no interest in removing loads of paywalls just the odd thing or 2 now and again

Just found several posts and vids saying it is being shut down… I guessed it would happen eventually

      I’ve had really good results with using archive.is - Just throw that in front of a link with a forward slash and you’re good to go.
      Like archive.is/https://example.com/

      Never had an issue yet. There was one time where a page looked a bit weird on my phone, and I couldn’t see the very last paragraph of the article. But enabling desktop mode in my browser fixed it.

        first thing I tried it failed on, probably because it is a news site and recent… thanks for the suggestion though

          Archive.is works by saving snapshots of pages, unlike 12ft, which just stripped the paywall on the fly. With very new pages, a snaptshot might not be saved yet. In that case, go to the home page and use the box to ask to make a new snapshot now. It will take a minute and then you should see it.
