Do you folks have any tips on how to get around magazine and newspaper paywalls? It seems like the old tricks are becoming less reliable and it's frustrating - especially given paywalls seem to be becoming more stringent at the same time.

There have been instances where 12ft.io hasn't worked and I found this workaround for chrome (tinker for your browser of choice)

  • F12 for developer tools (or 3 dots for chrome)

  • Run Command (Ctrl + Shift + P)

  • Type "Java" > Disable Java script

  • F5 refresh

What this does is disable all the java based popups which just so happens to be paywall prompts.
