extension-save-to-pocket VS ArchiveBox

Paywalls are annoying in daily browsing (more in the weekends and mornings!).

https://archive.is/ is great but one thing I noticed is that not play nicely with content extraction services such as https://getpocket.com/ and I think it is more about Pocket recognizing the Archive Today service than other thing.

Google Translate is an alternative that currently works with content readers. Basically the hack is to just not use the translation at all putting the same language in the language origin and destination.

as the title says, twitter and getpocket.com is not working properly in guest window when shield (aggressive mode) is "ON". if I off the shield then the website works properly. I am using latest version of brave browser on windows 10. I don't know its just me or anything else or the these two websites having some problems.

For longer articles, I really like reading with Pocket. This is going to sound like an ad, but it's an app/website made by the same non-profit foundation that makes Firefox. It lets you save articles, restart from where you left off, it tell you approximately how long (in minutes of reading time) the article is, it syncs between your devices, when you save it usually gets your around soft paywalls like the New Yorker's, it saves offline so you can read on the plane or subway. It strips away all the extraneous stuff like ads so it just shows you the article (sometimes it strips away useful things too, like pictures, for what it's worth). You can sign up for their emails and it's the only organization's email I'm happy I signed up for. They send you one email a day with a curated list of the most saved articles on the site. It's great, especially for long articles!

Use getpocket.com to bypass paywalls

Yeah. I've resorted now to using https://getpocket.com for individual chapters on my Kobo. Not really happy about it.

Another work around that works on 95% of sites: Use Pocket (getpocket.com) and save it to pocket. You will be able to read it there.

Other services include Pocket and Mozilla VPN.

I've got a Kobo ereader, and it supports syncing with a pocket account.

Two projects I greatly appreciate, allowing me to easily archive my bandcamp and GOG purchases (after the initial setup anyways):

https://github.com/easlice/bandcamp-downloader

https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc

And I recently learned about archivebox, which I think is going to be a fast favorite and finally let me clear out my mess of tabs/bookmarks: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

If you really want to save the content for yourself, use something like https://archivebox.io/

I've been running a local instance for a few years now and download/save tech articles all time. I can search and find them as needed.

API is coming soon (relatively, it's still a one-man project)! Stay tuned https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496

I have an event-sourcing refactor in progress now to allow us to pluginize functionality like the API (similar to Home Assistant with a plugin app sotre), it will take a month or two. Next up is the REST API using the new plugin system.

I guess your best chance is to use something like https://archivebox.io/.

Yeah this is a cool project but it was discussed 2 days ago.

As mentioned by the maintainer there, they even maintain a list of alternatives, very classy:
