    It’s fynny when there is a full screen banner that tells you to pay to read the article and then you just use the uBlock origin zapper to delete that and read through the article.

      They got smarter than that. They show a page that looks like the one you want, but isn’t. It just serves as a vessel to show you that you need to pay. If you zap the modal, it reveals there’s nothing behind it.

        Yeah I would say on most pages it doesn’t work.

        But just today I read some F1 news and the page asked me to pay and it just zapped away.
