Re:Chrome DevTools, Scroll Into View gets around paywalls on Monday February 27, 2023 @04:58AM (#34954695)
this.

bloomberg.com for instance, hides pay walled lines in empty <div>s.

the other method is to disable javascript and cookies (works on nytimes.com), or press ESC key to stop page loading before paywall kicks in (works on telegraph.co.uk) :)

Re:Salon magazine mines crypto-cash with readers' PCs on Tuesday February 20, 2018 @03:46AM (#16418785)
I beg to differ. I've tried Coinhive's miner, it used all of processor's threads and making my browser unresponsive, couldn't even move mouse pointer or close the browser. Mining coins on a browser is bad for everybody involved, especially for the users.
