I use Brave browser's script and cookie blocking abilities. In the browser, you click on the Brave logo to the right of the url input. In the menu that appears, you can block all scripts and cookies. This is usually enough for me to see NYT, WaPo, Economist, and other articles. Only in rare cases has this strategy not worked. I consume a lot of news, so whenever I see a paywall -- boom! Scripts blocked, paywall goes down. It seems that it remembers these settings on a site-by-site basis, as well. I encounter fewer paywalls as time goes by.
