How does this, (or 12ft.io for that matter) actually work? Client-side trickery? Magic cookies? Something like adblock?
EDIT: Apparently it just blocks JS and disguises itself as an SE crawler. This still doesn’t work on sites like Bloomberg, and if I understand correctly nothing can be done there.
I use the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension in Firefox to access Bloomberg, among others. I had it installed before it got taken down, so be careful where you get it from nowadays.
The author moved the project to GitFlic: https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bpc_uploads
It’s not open source? Git repo just have Extensions binary file.
Yea I’m not gonna install binary extensions hosted on some Russian site
I’ve never gotten even the original 12ft to work a single time. Bypass Paywalls Clean is the only thing that has worked for me incredibly consistently
I just installed this a couple days ago and already used it twice. It’s super easy and convenient.
This is amazing!!
What sites do you use it for?
Mostly some news sites I really don’t want to support but want to see one article of
I wish I had even half the braincells required to understand the installation for this.
Just a grammatical nitpick in the readme but as a compound adjective it would be 13-foot Ladder. “That ladder is 13 feet tall” vs “That is a 13-foot tall ladder”.
Seems to have some severe bugs: https://github.com/wasi-master/13ft/issues
