Pretty funny, I'm a JavaScript developer and I didn't know this method. I have other ways I do it which are much more difficult lol, this is so much easier.

Paywalls man, I just wanted a chocolate fudge recipe off some website with a very appetizing picture. I did this, it worked great! They were charging $20USD/Year for a BASIC 4 ingredient recipe. (For anyone wondering)
1. Melt chocolate of your choice and condensed milk in a double boiler
2. Then mix in some salt and vanilla extract
3. Refrigerate at least until hard
Basic I know :/

OMG, I was googling ways to avoid a paywall for the NYtimes (for the very few times I need it) and ran across your video - I'm a Javascript dev and didn't even think about this! BRILLIANT!

[CloudsTheory]

This is a lifesaving tip, thank you. I'm all for paying people for what they do, but when having access to basic and necessary information becomes so hard, sometimes settings such as paywalls have to be put aside.

I don't really bother liking or commenting on pretty much any video on this accursed website but dang you did earn mine. Not only are you straight to the point, the way your videos are presented are really clean. You don't see that a lot nowadays so thumbs up dude! :D

It doesn't work for most websites.
When I did it on the one I read. It said "please enable javascript".
So basically instead of paywall notification, you still get free part only and are prompted to enable javascript.

Any other solution including plugins would be welcome though.

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! I needed an article for school but can't afford to pay. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You're a hero

Most nowadays use the "continue reading" button which enables only through JavaScript. So, if you disable Javascript, you'll get rid of the paywall pop up but won't be able to click on continue reading to read the rest of the site.

Crazy how it's a very simple "hack" to bypass these paywalls. Too bad I just learned this now. I remember I was searching for a specific research paper but all I could is the summary of it and the rest is locked in a paywall. But hey, at least I know the trick now. Thanks, Mr. Sujano! 😅

[phatRdude]

love ur content no BS just short and to the point

[ΓιώταΤσαλίκη]

It doesn't work in most of the sites I tried. It just keep showing the loading icon, both on Android and on PC chrome. Is there a fix for that?

[Zyute.]

I never knew of this workaround. Thanks for the information Mr. Sujano!

The javascript tip for Chrome and Firefox works for some sites but not for others.

Hey there, this is a solution that might work in relation to purely front-end coded pay-wall (which means to extremely low number of paywalls). I tried it on first few websites that came to my mind and it did not work on any of them. The overwhelming majority of paywalls use a back-end solution that does not care about javascript being on or off.

[ToddMichaelSoule]

Love videos like this. Simple, and to the point, and even resolved an issue a different way; compared to not using an archived site. Thanks.

[aznprsuazn]

this is great! love that the step by step actually looks like what i see when i try it, ty!

[RoseannMcCabe]

I tried this on a local P&J article here in Scotland. Got rid of the paywall, only to be met with zero text and a big white blank space on the page where the article should be. I think they're catching on lol

[NickDrinksWater]

Theres addons that add a quick right-click to disable javascript button, I use it quite frequently for these exact reasons, and also to bypass those annoying adblock blocker messages. Much quicker than having to dig through the settings every time

[guisaro]

The first one is very good! Simple, easy to remember and works very well (January, 2025). Thank you a lot!
