I've been getting less and less success with 12ft.io. I mostly use it on my phone. On my computer I use Bypass Paywall Clean[0] (chrome/firefox addon) which uses different tricks to access the full article.

- timattrn 4y agobypass paywall clean is excellent. And you can use it on your phone, at least if you have the relative freedom of Android. You need firefox nightly, which allows any extension to be added; other versions of Firefox limit add-ons to a curated list. There are other builds of Firefox for Android that allow any add-on, but Firefox Nightly is an easy install from the Play Store. Then you need to make a personal collection of addons at the firefox addon site, link firefox nightly to your Add-On collection, and as long as you added bypass paywall clean (custom) to your collection, you're off the races. The "custom" version of the add-on has a simplified UI with better defaults for a mobile phone. This is not a tutorial, but it's not too hard to get this addon working on Android. Firefox nightly despite the name is stable on my Pixel 6 pro. This has greatly improved my browsing experience on my phone. For the record, I subscribe to the Economist, Wired, NY Times, Telegraph (UK), the Guardian, The Age, lwn and the Conversation (via repeating donation) so I don't think I am much of a free-loader.
