Not working for ET Prime I guess

Great tutorial, and I like how you showed a few different ways to bypass these site’s paywalls. I installed the FF add-on and works like a charm.

I understand these newspapers want to keep afloat and make a buck, but they already do so through advertising. Besides, it’s annoying when someone links an interesting article, you go to the website and you’re welcomed with an annoying subscription window.

Freedom of information. Knowledge should be accessible to everyone, and this is a good first step in that direction. Thank you.
