Do you folks have any tips on how to get around magazine and newspaper paywalls? It seems like the old tricks are becoming less reliable and it’s frustrating - especially given paywalls seem to be becoming more stringent at the same time.

Have you tried the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension? There’s a version for Chrome and Firefox. It works for many sites but not everything. I think Firefox removed it from their add-ons repository but you can install it manually. There’s a good article on that decision here and also a method to use uBlock Origin for this purpose.
It has indeed been removed from Firefox’s add-on store. I’ll look at the alternatives you gave, thank you. :)
Just FYI, from this article “Interested users still can install an XPI file from author’s GitLab here.”
This method is how I installed the latest version on Firefox, because the original one was no longer updating.
There is a GitHub with the list, and it’s compatible with ublock origin, so you can block ads and paywalls
Wait. I have “Bypass Paywalls”. Are they the same thing or is one better than the other?
I don’t think so, my version has the full name: “Bypass Paywalls Clean”
Oh ok, will check that out. Thanks!
