> Annoying paywall, how is businessinsider.com even allowed on HN nowadays?

Just a "funny" thing to share: because of adblocking extensions I'm unable load any of their articles - whatever I click from BI, no matter if it's US or Polish version, I'm getting 404.

Don't worry too much. It's business insider, even of the page works the content is 404.

I have my iOS Safari set to display webpages in Reader View by default. Among the benefits is that BI’s paywall is avoided. I imagine that Reader Mode would also work for this purpose on Firefox desktop.

Also, I have Firefox Focus set as a Safari content blocker and have no issues.

If you're fast enough to click the reader button, the paywall is indeed omitted
