Brave browser + anti-fingerprinting and blocking third party cookies gets rid of 90% of paywalls, including NYT. Blocking scripts gets rid of 9% more and then you're left with 1% that are quite onerous. All these settings are one-click options which can be saved on a per-site basis (if, for instance you'd prefer to allow device fingerprinting by default for some reason) using the lion icon in the top right.
It also now has things like one click instanced tor browsing (e.g. if its necessary to spoof your location for some site) and more. It started out as a nice idea, but has become leagues ahead of every other browser in terms of privacy. It's incidental, and I think poetic, that basic privacy protection ends up breaking paywalls as many are dependent upon tracking users.
