How to Read Blocked Articles behind a Paywall for free

 Today we will learn how to read blocked/ restricted content on the internet. Remember when you find a good article and you try to read it. You are welcomed by a only half an article or a pop-up to buy a subscription to read the whole article. 

What if I say, that you can now read that exact article, for free. 

There is a way but you should only follow this method if you don't have the means to support the particular organisation or you must be Jobless like me. 

Before that if you want to try something you could try clearing your cookies on the browser and you might get to read the complete article.

You can also try incognito mode to view that article it works for some websites.

If all these methods are not working for you then let's get to the real deal. It requires enabling the developer mode of your browser and installing an extension.

So let's begin....

1) Download the extension from GitHub. It is not available in the official google extension repositories.

https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome

This extension is available for both Mozilla Firefox as well as Google Chrome. Google Chrome means it will work with Chromium, Brave browser or any fork of Google chrome. You try and let me know in the comments section. I am trying this on Mozilla Firefox. 

For Mozilla Firefox users the extension can be installed directly by clicking on the Download button from GitHub and it also supports automatic updates.

2) Unzip the file and you should have a folder named bypass-paywalls-chrome-master.

3)In Chrome/Edge go to the extensions page (chrome://extensions or edge://extensions).

4) Enable Developer Mode.

5) Drag the bypass-paywalls-chrome-master folder anywhere on the page to import it (do not delete the folder afterwards).

It will show the number of websites it will allow you to read the articles, in case you don't find your website in it then you are out of luck because their paywall might be too hardened to crack. 

If you have logged in to one of the sites mentioned, you must logout and un-check that website otherwise it will log you out automatically which will hinder you workflow/experience.

6) Click on save.

If you are too much paranoid about your safety and privacy you could try this  https://pastebin.com/e1cLHz9r

Look, there is no need to go through all this pain if you can just afford to pay for the news articles to read and you should pay for news articles to read. Support Independent news organisations.

Wazirx hack: A travesty for Indian crypto users and other Indian exchanges

This post is going to be as blunt as possible and let me take out all my anger, sorrow emotions all together. On July 18 2024 wazirx exchange experienced a cyber hack in their cold wallets. I noticed it happened live while I was with my father for his regular checkup. I was of the opinion that it must be a hoax or might be little amount as they must have had all their funds in cold wallets and wallets don't get hacked as it is backed by blockchain and we hold the private key. So I went on with my day and when I return back that evening it was raining tweets all over and it was catastrophic. Ideally I should have withdrawn the money as it was unfolding at 11 o clock but the wazirx fan in me was too strong to withdraw. I didn't withdraw when the government announced ban on crypto in 2018. I didn't withdraw when FTX fraud happened, lol I brought some during the downturn hoping to get some return but lost!  I didn't withdraw when Terra LUNA happened, I also brought some in ...

Today we will learn how to implement jio tv app with the help of kodi app from Play Store. Don't get me wrong we can directly watch Jio tv on our tv but the app is optimised for mobile, so using it on a tv without a mouse or keyboard because a task. With kodi app you get to do everything with just the remote which came with the tv and the interface is relatively easy if you get the hang of it. Kodi can be difficult if you cannot figure out anything explained in this tutorial because you have never used this application.  Will try my level best to explain without any images because I don't have a massive following who reads my blogs and I don't want to waste my resources writing a good blog. Deal with it. This tutorial is written with Modi's matrix version your mileage may vary depending upon time.  1) First of all download kodi application from Play Store or download via apkmirror if your tv does not have an Play Store built in. I know you are the one who doesn't ha...
