Okay so, what is the currently going-for alternative that bypasses paywalls?

[–] dude@lemmings.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m afraid there aren’t any. You can use the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension though

Oh well, archive.today it is in the meantime I guess.

copy the headline and find the same thing free somewhere else. usually it's a news site full of unreadable slop. pay walls used to be almost worth bypassing. no more. just another money grab, pretending to protect valuable information. not

Fair point. Very few if any news sites provide unique articles.
