You will go straight to jail π‘π‘π‘
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 
Same
"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
I'd like to prepend that this dude is correct.
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!
Iβve used ublock for years and only recently discovered the zapper and itβs 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
Archive.ph >12ft.io
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.
Definitely don't install the bypass paywalls clean extension or script so you don't have to take a single manual action to get around them. That would be extremely contraversial!
Firefox Immersive Reader button
Will someone PLEASE think of the shareholders?!
Huh. I just Ctrl+P before the paywall comes up. Then I can print to a PDF and view it the way it was meant to be.
That's exactly what the 3rd post said.
For poorly paywalled sites, just hit F9. Displays screen reader text. Accessibility, y'all.
One person downvoted? Are they stupid or something? Asking for a friend.
Sometimes I'm scrolling and my thumb gets lazy and goes sideways and I upvote or downvote things unintentionally.
It's the only explanation that makes sense
