  Is there a Firefox version?
  • sva_ 3y ago
    https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea... It used to be in mozillas addon store, but they removed it, so have to install via dev mode

      Or you can load this uBO filterlist, which should basically do the same thing as the extension https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt

        That's why I like reading HN comments. Thanks for that filter link

      No need for dev mode - signed XPIs are avaiable from releases: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean/-/releases https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea....

        Ah you're right, I confused it with Chrome
  • xipho 3y ago
    You don't even need to install it, just add it as an import line to UO, Google how. Game changing.
    • xaellison 3y ago
      What's UO? This would've been a great comment with a little more info :)

        https://ublockorigin.com/ https://ublockorigin.com/ After install go to "Filter Lists" > Import ... > and add the url of the "list"... which is actually from a different repo: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter... Note: this apparently works for fewer sites than the linked extension.

          Thank you for the insight. I usually hesitate to install add-ons, but now I can avoid that step entirely based on your advice.

          > Note: this apparently works for fewer sites than the linked extension. Still, this is great to know because it can then be used on Firefox mobile.
          • pieter_mj 3y ago
            Addons are coming for firefox mobile. If you can't wait, you can install any addon you want with firefox nightly.

  Does not work so well anymore. Better use a bookmarklet javascript:location.href='https://archive.is/?run=1&url=%27+encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) https://archive.is/?run=1&url=%27+encodeURIComponent(documen...

    Not sure what happened here but the end of that is chopped off. Trying to fix it: javascript:location.href='https://archive.is/?run=1&url=%27+encodeURIComponent(document.location.href)+%27'
    • godelski 3y ago
      Not sure this is a good solution considering archive's fuckery
      • rahulroy9202 3y ago
        What did archive do?
        • godelski 3y ago
          There's a few links in sibling comments. But basically they are collecting some identifying data to try to optimize load times, but if they don't get that data they just reject the request instead of allowing for longer load times. Archive promises that they throw away that data and aren't tracking users but I mean why rely on trust? And as others point out, there are weird aspects of the code too so even if you trust what about mistakes? And btw, it isn't just cloudflare that's affected.
          • fragmede 3y ago
            that's the story Cloudflare wants you to buy. Archive is intentionally violating copyright, and needs to know which country you're coming from, so they can serve you content from a country that isn't yours. they need that information to protect the service and keep it running.

  This works quite well and probably covers 90% of my needs. For the other 10% I still use archive.today or 12ft (RIP). It's a shame Google won't let this addon be in the store.
