I'm still using greasemonkey scripts to redirect any link that'd go to a paywalled newspaper to instead go to my own web-cache which has a crawler circumventing the paywalls and which serves the article without paywall, or ads, or any other undesired content (disclaimer: I have a paid subscription to the paper version of the newspaper, but the paywall is so broken it's simpler to just circumvent it than to actually log in for every single article)
I built this in 2 hours, and obviously I never intended it for anyone else to be used, so it's just a tiny greasemonkey script, a golang webserver and a nodejs crawler running along nicely. No official addon or anything.
Greasemonkey is super useful for this kind of personalized stuff.
