    How does this, (or 12ft.io for that matter) actually work? Client-side trickery? Magic cookies? Something like adblock?

    EDIT: Apparently it just blocks JS and disguises itself as an SE crawler. This still doesn’t work on sites like Bloomberg, and if I understand correctly nothing can be done there.

      I’ve never gotten even the original 12ft to work a single time. Bypass Paywalls Clean is the only thing that has worked for me incredibly consistently
