There are browser extensions that let you bypass paywalls or you can read an archived version. there are more tips here : https://www.wikihow.com/Access-News-Articles-for-Free

That really fries my fritatas. I gave up trying to read news articles online because of this problem. You just want to read one article, but they expect you to pay for a freakin' subscription. Yeah I have all the money in the world to spend on subscriptions and I really want more email from sites I have no interest in the other 264 days of the year.

If you use Firefox on Android you can use uBlock Origin and custom filter lists to hide sites from search results like the uBo dev filter does

Of you want to hide them, both Kagi and Brave Search should have filters for this, or you could create your own.

If you're using Kagi, you can rewrite paywalled sites to automatically search on an archive site. Maybe searx or similar has the same functionality?

“ iOS users: add this shortcut to your share sheet and click on it when you encounter a paywall and itll open the archive link which lets you read and share the article without a paywall https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/ede57eb29515446ab7cd68b5a8a6e311

Or use this Praxis Browser app in the same way but it wont let you share the article https://apps.apple.com/us/app/praxis-browser/id1598706451

Android users: this Web Archive Viewer app seems to do the same thing as the iOS shortcut but ive never used it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=web.archive.viewer

Firefox users on any platform: this extension opens the archived version of the article and lets you read or share the article without paywalls https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/archive-page/

The firefox extension can be used on android and ios as well (ios users can install it with the Orion web browser) “

Archive.org works for most mainstream news sites. Put the link in there.

You can make a list of domains with such practices and block these domains

Do medium articles work?

Hey, doesn't work with every site but a useful tool and doesn't require any install: https://12ft.io/

All the best :)
