I always break the ctrl key right off my keyboard when I get a new computer so I don’t accidentally do this.
12ft hardly works for anything for me anymore
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.
Same
I just use Bypass Paywalls Clean, or failing that, archive.vn.
“Append…before”, AKA “prepend”!
12ft.io almost never works for me tbh.
Also, appending before something is called prepending, similar to how a prefix after something is a suffix.
Yup. They went full OG AdBlock and got WaPo and other major publications to prevent them from working.
You can mimic what they did by adding the Google Crawler user agent to your browser but I just use archive.is
Archive.is is definitely not an alternative that people should use in this situation
Or the appendix of a book
I got my prependix taken out as a kid due to an infection.
Definitely don’t use uBlock Origin’s zapper mode to get rid of elements on the page that are blocking your view.
I have been using inspect element to manually remove ads and other annoying things
Thanks for reminding me!
^ This person adblocks
Disabling JavaScript through ublock origin also does the same (horrible) thing, frequently.
cocks the element zapper Say hello to my little friend!
I’ve used ublock for years and only recently discovered the zapper and it’s my new favorite thing on the internet
I often forget YouTube shorts are a thing because i zapped them away.
I don’t generally use it, but safari got this baked in recently
not NOT use firefox’ reading mode.
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.”
And God forbid if someone uses archiving sites like archive.is!
Truly awful. How will the news megacorp get its money? You wouldn’t steal the information required for you to be aware of world events? Right?

Thank you for the great advice. We should share this to a maximum of people. We don’t want people to get in trouble for violating copyright especially when done accidentally.
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
I do that a lot on my phone but keep forgetting it’s a thing on desktop for some reason.
Lol same, keep wishing I could’ve a text to speech on PC just like the mobile version… And it’s actually there.
Thank you so much! I already did it! (Smash Ctrl+P as fast as possible)
feds coming fo yo ass now you better run
If a website sends all the data of an article to you, it’s yours. They can’t take it away. There’s no basis to make the argument anything is owed to the website at that point.
