Getting around magazine paywalls (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Do you folks have any tips on how to get around magazine and newspaper paywalls? It seems like the old tricks are becoming less reliable and it's frustrating - especially given paywalls seem to be becoming more stringent at the same time.

Have you tried the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension? There's a version for Chrome and Firefox. It works for many sites but not everything. I think Firefox removed it from their add-ons repository but you can install it manually. There's a good article on that decision here and also a method to use uBlock Origin for this purpose.

Wait. I have "Bypass Paywalls". Are they the same thing or is one better than the other?

I don't think so, my version has the full name: "Bypass Paywalls Clean"
