Side note:
I can’t get NYT to load anymore. It’s convinced I’m in “incognito” when I most definitely am not. Same behavior in Chrome and Firefox. Has anybody else had it break on them?
- amelius 7y agoYou could try a VPN.
- kjar 7y agoYes. An imperfect hack, but at least you can read TFA: curl -O nyturl open local html
- croisillon 7y agoI had the same problem from work, where I definitely don't use incognito or ad-blockers
- OBLIQUE_PILLAR 7y agoNYT has a dollar per week online plan, you can afford it.
- chupasaurus 7y agoCheck out Bypass Paywalls[0] extension (Firefox and Chrome supported). [0]https://github.com/iamadamdev?tab=repositories https://github.com/iamadamdev?tab=repositories
- Operyl 7y agoIt’s happening to me on iOS as well, which I forgot to mention in my original comment. I do a lot of my reading of Hacker News on my device while traveling, etc
- chupasaurus 7y agoThen consider yourself lucky because everything you have is Safari with different UIs.
- Operyl 7y agoI said “iOS as well”. As in the behavior is the same on iOS as it is on desktop. Platform is irrelevant.
- em-bee 7y agoi switched to reader mode and then managed to get the whole article by reloading within reader mode.
- frutiger 7y agoOff-topic: would you pay for it?
- Operyl 7y agoIf I’m honest? Probably not. I made use of my free articles when that feature worked, and rarely hit the limit. I pay for 7 different subscriptions at other outlets that I read more often, such as The Guardian, a few more technical (like LWN), and local papers.
- badfrog 7y agoI'd gladly pay a monthly fee that gave me access to like the top 5 newspapers, but I'm not interested in maintaining all the subscriptions separately.
- mrsuprawsm 7y agoThere is a service called "Blendle" that does something similar, but on a model where you pay per article.
- himlion 7y agoThey recently stopped this pay per article model in favor of a subscription model for unlimited access.
- neltnerb 7y agoThe problem is that if you log in, they're tracking what you read and presumably monetizing that. I pay for the Washington Post, but I still read it in private mode or without logging in at least. They don't need to know what I'm reading, though I'm happy to support them.
- sho 7y agoIn Chrome, type "chrome://flags" into the address bar. Enable the flag "Filesystem API in Incognito". Restart Chrome. Et voilà, "incognito detection" is defeated (they are checking to see if localStorage is available or not). This will be enabled by default in future.
- jessaustin 7y agoBrilliant! I'd always wondered about this... It is actually a reasonable default, to a first approximation. I'm glad they're changing it, though.
