One major benefit of Russia Today’s news site is that there’s no ads, because of sanctions. If you’re comfortable ignoring the Russian government propaganda on many topics it’s actually pleasant to browse as one of the least bloated major news sites.

  Most news sites are pleasant with ad blocking, except for the proliferation of subscription paywalls.

    Try blocking JavaScript on the domain, it often brings up the full article, in a much faster web page, even with a paywall. There's a built-in feature in uBlock Origin, on a button with this label: </>

      That's cool, I've never seen that option because I almost never need to open the uBlock extension's little panel. I went to its settings first to look for it, and also discovered it can block JavaScript entirely by default.

"The Court replied that it is irrelevant whether or not the broadcasting of the prohibited content takes place in the course of an economic activity. The concept of ‘operator’ covers, in the present context, any person responsible, directly or indirectly, for making the prohibited content available, including in the context of a non-remunerated activity or in the operation of a website financed by voluntary contributions from third parties. The Court also clarifies that that classification depends neither on the extent nor on the duration of the broadcasting "
