- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Try turning off JavaScript when ur faced with an overlaying paywall
Yeah, I haven't seen a paywall in years with javascript disabled by default.
Try the serious properties, like Economist or FT. Their paywalls are hard.
I’m going to get fired at for saying this, but websites like that are why I keep Brave around as a last resort news backup. Its reader mode didn’t get past FT, but easily did so for the Economist.
(I don’t need education about Brave, but readers can lodge their complaints and do the token rants right here 👇)

Thanks, I’m aware, but afaik that is not an option on iOS mobile.
edit: just looked again and saw the brief blurb for iOS/iPadOS, will look into it further
