- aclissold 11y agoOr multiple incognito/private windows :P
- burntwater 11y agoYep, for awhile I didn't even register; I used some trick (I forget what it was) to get around that. Eventually I did register. And then the above requirement came, and that was the final nail in the coffin.
- bhrgunatha 11y agoAdding share=1 to the query string allows unregistered viewing. Such a strange decision by quora. No wonder they're so irrelevant.
- hkmurakami 11y agoIirc you can get around this by appending ?share=1
- cpeterso 11y agoThe "Quora Share" add-on for Firefox will automatically add the "?share=1" parameter for you: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quora-share/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quora-share/
- rabbyte 11y agoPinterest is probably the worst offender for that. You get progressively blocked the more you try to read.
- zem 11y agoi stopped using them because of that, and i even have an account; i just can't be bothered logging in to it everywhere.

- a3_nm 11y agoThe "block element" feature of muBlock allows you to block the popup that asks you to register. Just right-click on the popup, use "Block element", highlight the popup, click "Create", and do the same for the opaque background.
