    Wtf, how can a post in a piracy group be a link to a site that won’t let you read an article unless you subscribe or create an account…?!

      The same way I haven’t seen an ad in years, I also use a paywall bypass extension.

      So I guess it skips my mind sometimes; when none of these sites have had paywalls for years.

      I would argue a good chunk of the people here would prefer the OG link so they can archive it themselves (or make an offline .html copy directly)

        Yeah, I understand. Sometimes, it just irritates me, so sorry for overreacting.

        Does this extension work on android version of Firefox, and can you share it? Thx

          I am 100% unaffiliated w/ OP, but I would guess they use Magnolia’s bypass.

          However; I am on v3.0.8.0 (2023-03-05), so I can’t speak for anything newer than that out of his/her repo or in the extension mentioned.

          A fun reminder: always read what your extensions can do before yolo-clicking a download by a burner account.

            I just spent like an hour trying several methods to install this on Android, sadly I was not successful. If anyone can inform me on how to install this on Firefox for Android (not a fork), please let me know.
