But this approach is consistent, automatic and doesn't require tinkering with the dev-console. To the haters: Yes you can disable js on their page, yes you can abort pageload before the paywall pops up. I have also seen other news sites that only load visible content and fetch the full article when a subscription to their service is confirmed, which also makes script-blocking useless. Note: As soon as NYT implements a different way of opening the paywall or the location of their main.js changes (to a CDN for example) this will probably no longer work. Keep in mind, that removing the "main.js" will probably result in functionalities like login, live feed etc not working. This blocks their main.js script and will stop the paywall from loading. Navigate to the extension settings (top right of the drop-down window) and then go to "Advanced" and scroll down until you see "my filter list". If you use a custom DNS (like Pihole) I don't think I have to explain how to blacklist URLs.įor this example I will be using the Adblock Plus Extension (uBlock should work similar) ![]() ![]() NYT loads their article content before they load the script that enables the paywall in the first place, which allows us to block the script on a DNS/AdBlock level. Since I did not come across a good solution, I went digging in the devtools. Today I stumbled across the NYT Paywall and searched for easy solutions to bypass it.
