Looks interesting. Let’s paste in a NY Times article that I couldn’t read earlier.
12ft has been disabled for this site
…neat
- Jay ( @Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca ) English15•1 year ago
I use this extension on firefox and they work for me https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome
- hillbicks ( @hillbicks@feddit.de ) 12•1 year ago
With the recent changes to chrome, you really should give Firefox a chance though.
- Jay ( @Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca ) English13•1 year ago
I think you’re replying to the wrong person? I’ve been using firefox since it was called netscape navigator, aside from a stint in the 00’s
Edit: Oh do you mean the link? I’m on firefox the “chrome” in the link is just the url, it takes you to the install for both firefox and chrome. I assume the plugin was probably made for chrome first then ported to firefox.
- Rai ( @Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English6•1 year ago
They definitely just missed the “on Firefox”, but you definitely made that clear hahaha
- Jay ( @Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca ) English4•1 year ago
I thought so … but there’s times my brain doesn’t always parse what I read properly either lol
- hillbicks ( @hillbicks@feddit.de ) 3•1 year ago
Thanks for going easy on me. :p
Yes, that was a total brain fart on my part, I just looked at the url.
- Jay ( @Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca ) English2•1 year ago
No worries, I’ve done it myself
- RogueBanana ( @RogueBanana@lemmy.zip ) 4•1 year ago
It’s just the url, the extension is available for both chrome and firefox and they already said they are on firefox
- hillbicks ( @hillbicks@feddit.de ) 2•1 year ago
Yeah, I just saw chrome in the url and overlooked the Firefox part in the actual sentence :D

Archive.is/ before any link works like a charm.
- TheGreenGolem ( @TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee ) 2•1 year ago
They bent over for a lot of sites. Cowards (or money hungry fuckfaces.)
- mayo ( @mayo@lemmy.today ) 40•1 year ago
This doesn’t work nearly as well as it did in the past. I don’t know the story behind 12ft, but they seem to be complying with any site which has requested it to not work on their articles.
- federalreverse-old ( @federalreverse@feddit.de ) 11•1 year ago
Bloomberg blocks the service entirely, as does NY Times. :/
- metaStatic ( @metaStatic@kbin.social ) 4•1 year ago
haven’t used bloomberg in a minute but wasn’t it as easy as blocking java script? (and that’s something you should be doing anyway.)
hell you got a second to scroll the article before it locked out scrolling so you could just reload the page and scroll down to where you where reading if you where on say a work computer and couldn’t install shit.
- federalreverse-old ( @federalreverse@feddit.de ) 6•1 year ago
Just tried both tricks on Bloomberg, neither works.
(I am also not a huge fan of NoScript. I know why people use it but I don’t want to take all that brokenness. The thing that makes ad blockers mass-compatible is that they have auto-updating block lists. I do have an own list to kill some additional disrespectful behaviors from websites like chat bots though.)
- Anekdoteles ( @Anekdoteles@feddit.de ) 3•1 year ago
Never worked well for me, tbh. I always went with archive.org which doesn’t work anymore as well. The publishers have won the internet.
- Psythik ( @Psythik@lemm.ee ) 2•1 year ago
Well there’s always the good old Reader View button in Firefox.
- bbmb ( @bbmb@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
Some websites seem to hardly circumvent reader view, but to the point where it can be inconvenient. Reader Mode only works with the NY Times if I rapidly click on the “Toggle reader view” button whilst it’s loading, otherwise it’ll cut off. But it still does work brilliantly most of the time and gets the job done.
- Psythik ( @Psythik@lemm.ee ) 0•1 year ago
Well there’s always the option to mash the Escape key/Stop button before the pop-up can show. It works on The Washington Post at least.
- communistcapy ( @communistcapy@lemmy.sdf.org ) English29•1 year ago
That site has never worked for me. I use and recommend bypass paywalls clean
- SirEDCaLot ( @SirEDCaLot@lemmy.fmhy.net ) 8•1 year ago
Just want to add the bypass paywalls clean filters is the same idea but as an Adblock filter list rather than a separate extension.
- z3rOR0ne ( @z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year ago
The one true king. Just used it on ny times and it works. Just paste the filter list into ublock origins custom filter list option and youre good to go.
- Schwim Dandy ( @schwim@reddthat.com ) 10•1 year ago
It’s no longer a reliable solution. Most paywalls now just throw a javascript confirmation at it’s IP that breaks the ability to display the article.
- Neato ( @Neato@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
12ft and google cache often ends up with HUGE images. I assume sites are using very large image sizes that they are then down-scaling in a way that these sites can’t parse.
- Tigwyk ( @Tigwyk@lemmy.vrchat-dev.tech ) English10•1 year ago
Use archive.is these days, it’s not perfect either but you get the added bonus of archiving the page for future folks.
- Jay ( @Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca ) English7•1 year ago
The last few times I’ve tried, 12ft didn’t work for me, but https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome does so far. (For firefox and chrome)
- young_broccoli ( @young_broccoli@kbin.social ) 7•1 year ago
Theres also this one: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean
Dont know the diference between them but its good to have options.- Paulemeister ( @Paulemeister@feddit.de ) 5•1 year ago
I think it’s the one without Google analytics. Apparently more active development as well, can’t confirm that though just trust @eipi1_0@reddit.com
- Jay ( @Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca ) English1•1 year ago
For sure, thanks for the link.
- neocamel ( @neocamel@lemmy.studio ) 2•1 year ago
Does that work on Mobile?
- Jay ( @Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca ) English1•1 year ago
Unfortunately I don’t think so.
Thanks!
- Hamartiogonic ( @Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz ) English6•1 year ago
Over the years I’ve tried this site every now and the with varying results. Generally speaking, I seem to be interested in the types of articles where it doesn’t work.
- JCreazy ( @JCreazy@midwest.social ) English6•1 year ago
If I care that much I’ll find a different source.
- Lifted_lowered ( @Lowered_lifted@beehaw.org ) English4•1 year ago
Doesn’t work for a lot of sites unfortunately
