Another workaround:
Disable javascript on the newspapers' sites. They load the full article and then use JS to hide it. (They also use JS to do the incognito detection in the first place.)

Often doesn't work, they now take a new approach by only loading in the extra content if you pass their checks (using JS). Not using JS will get you the first paragraph.

Downside of search engine indexers evolving over the years to execute JS on crawled pages.

I hope this never changes. It’s so easy and works so well, even on mobile!
Talking about this makes me feel the same as when I discuss youtube-dl.

I have started giving websites a one-strike rule for javascript. If you pop up a paywall, a modal, an autoplay video, or anything else that distracts me, you permanently lose js execution privileges on my browser.
The world would be a better place if developers knew that they can’t count on javascript.

Alternatively you could use Firefox's Container Tabs.

This works especially well when combined with the Cookie auto-delete extension.

Oops, I'll fix that.
1. Open the profile menu. (This is the icon in the top right, just to the left of the three vertical dots.)
2. Click "Manage people", click "Add person" (lower right).
3. Type "Darned Newspapers!" and click "Add".
4. When you get blocked, copy URL, use the profile menu to navigate to open a new "Darned Newspapers!" window, paste URL.
It's a real profile, so it should behave quite closely and should be harder to detect. Of course, unlike incognito mode, it will save your history, so be aware of that.
