bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean VS SponsorBlock

Use bypass paywalls clean extension - chrome firefox

Another article from the Wall Street Journal. How to get rid of the paywall? This extension works (there is a Chrome version too):

In the case of WSJ, these two little things will bypass the paywall:

1) use "https://www.drudgereport.com/" as the Referer for "www.wsj.com"

2) block the cookies

I'm using a proxy server that allows me to do this so I don't need the extension.

It used to be in mozillas addon store, but they removed it, so have to install via dev mode

No need for dev mode - signed XPIs are avaiable from releases: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea....

You are one of today's 10,000.

And if you have android:

The SponsorBlock [0] addon has already solved that for sponsored/ad segments in videos. Rather than AI, crowdsourced timestamps lets it automatically skip past adverts.

For the latter there’s the open-source SponsorBlock: https://sponsor.ajay.app/

During this debacle I did discover SponsorBlock - https://sponsor.ajay.app/

This is different from YouTube platform ad-blocking, instead it is crowd-sourced auto-skip of in-video sponsorship messages etc. Quite configurable, really appreciating it so far.

> a creator having a "merch" ad integration doesn't count as an ad.

this is why you also install sponsorblock (https://sponsor.ajay.app/). Only whitelist the channels you want to "support", if you really want to make sure to eyeball the sponsorship (which doesn't really help unless it happens to be a product you actually are interested in buying).
