    Pretty funny, I'm a JavaScript developer and I didn't know this method. I have other ways I do it which are much more difficult lol, this is so much easier.

    It doesn't work for most websites.
    When I did it on the one I read. It said "please enable javascript".
    So basically instead of paywall notification, you still get free part only and are prompted to enable javascript.
    Any other solution including plugins would be welcome though.

    This is a lifesaving tip, thank you. I'm all for paying people for what they do, but when having access to basic and necessary information becomes so hard, sometimes settings such as paywalls have to be put aside.

    Crazy how it's a very simple "hack" to bypass these paywalls. Too bad I just learned this now. I remember I was searching for a specific research paper but all I could is the summary of it and the rest is locked in a paywall. But hey, at least I know the trick now. Thanks, Mr. Sujano! 😅

    Hey there, this is a solution that might work in relation to purely front-end coded pay-wall (which means to extremely low number of paywalls). I tried it on first few websites that came to my mind and it did not work on any of them. The overwhelming majority of paywalls use a back-end solution that does not care about javascript being on or off.

    Paywalls man, I just wanted a chocolate fudge recipe off some website with a very appetizing picture. I did this, it worked great! They were charging $20USD/Year for a BASIC 4 ingredient recipe. (For anyone wondering)
    1. Melt chocolate of your choice and condensed milk in a double boiler
    2. Then mix in some salt and vanilla extract
    3. Refrigerate at least until hard
    Basic I know :/

    Most nowadays use the "continue reading" button which enables only through JavaScript. So, if you disable Javascript, you'll get rid of the paywall pop up but won't be able to click on continue reading to read the rest of the site.
