What I do is use "_Bypass Paywalls Clean_" for Firefox, on my desktop. [1] Then on my iPhone (safari), I use a handy little iOS shortcut that routes the page to archive.is and then shows the reader mode version. [2] I used to use a cool shortcut for apple news that would also parse the URL, find the original article, and show it reader mode. Sadly, apple disabled sharing of News+ articles.

Hey! That shortcut gave me an idea. I just wrote a quick UserScript that will basically do the same, only completely automatically [0]. Maybe I'll add something that will popup and ask if you want to be redirected.

That iCloud shortcut was great. Took a bit of fiddling to get it to work. And I often have to be the first to cache a page from my RSS reader, miniflux, it’s still pretty great and definitely a huge quality of life improvement. Thanks a bunch!
