How come this NYT article isn't paywalled?

• jamesmishra 5y ago
  It is paywalled, if the NYT detects from your browser cookie that you have already consumed all of your free articles for the month. But some ad blockers, like Brave's "Shields" feature, manage to block NYT's tracking so that every article appears as if it is the first article you read this month.

    Brave is such a great browser, it’s one of the few software products that makes me feel really happy when I use it

      Works on Firefox as well and you can sleep well at night knowing you don't use software that is managed by Brendan Eich (except if you are a transphobe and visit /pol/ then yes Brave is perfect)

    Doesn't manage to block it on Android. Its a bit of a bummer, really.
