Notes on Paywalls

Many traditional news websites expect you to face a barrage of annoying ads AND give up precious coin to pass through a paywall.

While each such site may have a unique workaround, there are three simple ones that usually always work: clear your browser history, disable JavaScript, or open the link in a private browsing tab.

For the last one, the added bonus is that Google, Big Brother, ad cookie traps, etc., etc., etc., can’t track you. Either follow the menu options at the top of your browser, or do the following:

 

CHROME Incognito: Ctrl + Shift + N

IE: InPrivate Browsing: Ctrl + Shift + P

FIREFOX: Private Window: Ctrl + Shift + P

BRAVE: Private Tab: Ctrl + Shift + P
