    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.
