I get around paywalls by disabling JavaScript when I read the news
I use the mozilla reader mode
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.
