I know a lot of people like to dump on Firefox, but a number of paywalls, including the Guardian one, completely disappear when you use it. For those that don't, some of them disappear if you use reader mode.

there are a lot of sites that do that, especially in germany. and it annoys me to no end because i believe it is actually illegal. at least that's how i understand it. i might be wrong but i believe that tracking cookies must always be optional, paid or not.

And archive.is joins their users into botnets

I’ll take the cookies

Or just toggle JS on their site mate

Isn't that the choice people on hn claim to want to have? Let me pay for journalism and not be tracked please.
