NYT recently started recognizing private mode. Wait for Chrome 76. Or jump over paywall using other means. https://www.ghacks.net/2019/06/14/chrome-76-blocks-sites-from-detecting-incognito-mode/ https://www.ghacks.net/2019/06/14/chrome-76-blocks-sites-fro...

    This is one of other means possible

It's so they can spot people reading more than 5 articles a month, which is their "free quota" before they hit you with the pay wall, if i recall correctly.

  It's 5 articles time the number of installed browsers on your computer; at least it's what I do when I hit the paywall.

    Or just clear cookies after 5 articles.

Depends on the browser. On Firefox, it tries to access indexedDB. On Safari, it tries to access localStorage. On Chrome, it tries webkitRequestFileSystem. Search for the function "971y" in their main.js on the page. Disabling javascript is enough to bypass the paywall on Firefox.

  +1 works on chrome as well
