Thanks to the Streisand Effect, I've installed this. Seems to work pretty well on the few sites I've tried. Hopefully the maintainer can find a new home and l

  Streisand Effect indeed... I wasn't aware this existed but now I've saved a copy.

  Wow, Gitlab has gotten ridiculous. They're making me sign up for an account, verify email, go through two captchas, and fill out a survey before they'll let me view the repository. . . . and now that I've done all that the repository is 404ing.

    Phone number verification also fails for Google Voice.

      Loads of services have that issue, not just GitLab. Some are even blocking Twilio numbers.

        Twilio is registered on the PSTN as an IPES, if your making the effort to block non-wireless OCNs, then your gonna block Twilio.

    They really had an opportunity to capture significant market share and they ruined it. Their interface also doesn’t work without javascript. What a shame.

      I suspect it was a conscious decision, they went for large, paying, enterprise customers instead of fighting for the free, public, and open source projects.

      GitHub isn't usable without JS either anymore. (A long time ago, I clearly remember it did. There's nothing about browsing files or participating in the effective forum that's called "Issues" which fundamentally requires JS.)

        It’s now usable without JS once again. It was not long ago that repositories stopped being viewable without JS enabled, but they are now again. I hadn’t tried interacting in Issues without JS enabled in years, but I just tried to out of curiosity and successfully replied to an issue that way. I must admit to finding myself quietly impressed that any place would be capable of reversing itself on a decision like that.

      Why would they have to make their interface work without JavaScript? The few people who block JavaScript for sure know how to enable JavaScript again. And if they block JavaScript for security and trust reasons, well, they are going to download software from gitlab and run it anyway.

        This is the attitude that has ruined the entire web. The real question should be: why is JavaScript necessary and what does it add? (In the majority of applications, absolutely nothing.)

    I think the sign up page is because the repo is blocked. It probably redirects to that for non-logged-in users.

  Another extension that deserves some fame is "Behind the overlay". it allows you to kill any unskipable full page overlay informing you about the benefits of a subscription and the excellent quality of the article beneath it. Coupled with the Archive.ph button they make up my holy trinity of paywall bypass.
  • IG_Semmelweiss 3y ago
    curious, what's the 3rd part of the trinity now that Bypass Paywalls is gone ?

      It's not going anywhere, it just needs to find a more reliable home.
• wkat4242 3y ago
  Thanks for the twitter link, the author has now posted a wetransfer link and is thinking about another home.
• ktosobcy 3y ago
  Uhm... maybe codeberg.org? Or self-hosted forgejo/gitea?
