A lot of paywalls disappear when you turn off javascript. I use a plugin that adds a button to quickly toggle javascript for specific web pages. It works for a large percentage of paywalled articles. On the few paywalled sites where I actually use javascript, it is easy to just turn it back on again when needed. The plugin I use is JavaScript Switcher, but there are others out there.
That’s nice to know. There’s also “reader mode” built right into Firefox.
I did not know about reader mode. It seems that it is unavailable for some websites, so it can still be useful to switch off JavaScript in those cases.
uBlock Origin can do this too, there’s a button that looks something like </> that will disable JS
What… gotta check that out thank you for the head’s up!
