I think the websites in Belgium are better protected. Unless you can find a way to remove the paywal on http://hln.be ( the most popular news website in Belgium ).

Not really for bypassing paywalls, but Fast Forward is a god-send when you have to go through annoying redirecting links, it's the successor of Universal Bypass. Github Repo

A good way to bypass some of the paywalls is using a browser that doesn't actually support these "features" in the first place. Those do require some extra work though:

  • readability-cli uses mozilla's API that converts web-pages into e-reader friendly format. This can be used with text-based web browsers like lynx and w3m
  • mpv - this little video player can do so much more than just play videos. Backed by youtube-dl or it's fork yt-dlp it circumvents pre-roll ads, with yt-dlp you can also leverage the power of sponsorblock to get around some of the more annoying segments (Good bye Raid: Shadow legends, you won't be missed). On top of that, mpv can also let you watch streams!
  • of course proxy servers that embed the content of the popular sites also exist - invidious and nitter being two examples that come up on my mind.
  • while there are viable alternatives to popular search engines, there are also proxies - startpage gives you power or google's search engine (especially things like tags and operators to refine your search) without the usual garbage in form of trackers and redirects that come as "bonus" from Google. If you'd rather use engine that combines results from multiple search engines there's searxng

my solution to each one

youtube

  • don't use youtube.
  • maybe use somthing like pipe-viewer

cookie remover

  • don't save any cookies to begin with
  • allow cookies for website you really want
  • mange cookie storing by your browser not by the website

bypass paywall

  • n e w s, how interesting.
  • rss
  • don't use these website.
  • BBC + rss

clickbait thumbnail

  • pip-viewer. the cli

Cookie Auto Delete is a little more feature filled version of your Self-Destructing Cookies plugin:

It actually doesn't work. All it does is remove the paywall info, but the actual article is still not visible. Only the top headline and the introduction.

That's a shame it looked promising but I wasn't able to understand the language, looking again I can see what your saying.

The bypass paywalls also will disable access to Quora. You get logged out and can't log in again until you disable it.

I was wondering if there was something out there to show you how to install bypass Paywall on Firefox? the repo says it works on both chrome and FF but no instructions to do the FF install.

Go to https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-firefox/releases/tag/v1.7.2 - download the .xpi file. In FF go to Menu -> extensions -> click the cog wheel "Add from file" and select the .xpi file. Done

Thank you for this information. Is there a way to read "TheInformation.com"? The bypass paywalls does not work for me.
