Ah I see you are on mobile. What works for me on mobile is the following:

  1. Copy the link of the article you want to bypass the paywall for.
  2. Open a new incognito tab that doesn't have any cookies whatsoever (I usually only have this single tab open in incognito)
  3. Load https://www.google.com in the incognito tab
  4. Paste the link of the article into the search bar from https://www.google.com (use the search bar of the site not the one from your browser, this is important) and press search.
  5. If you now click the corresponding article link from the resulting google results page, the article should load without any paywall.

AFAIK this exploits the same mechanism that the bypass paywalls extension exploits. Websites want to make their articles accessible via google if you directly search for them, but want to have a paywall if you find the article via their website. This works for me for most major international news websites on Firefox for iOS

This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
