boubalo5888yLol me too
But i eventually got a little browser extension that does it with one click though.
It knocks off any sort of overlay , just dont click it more than once per page or it kinda buggers the DOM lol -
@boubalo
Hey I think a extension is kind of a overkill but why not it's fun making one. Can you tell me more about making extensions, how much time it takes and other good resources etc. I am front end developer BTW. -
I do this with the Boston Globe. Their paywall can just be deleted from the dom.

0tikurt6378yThe best part of being a dev: you can manipulate the DOM when a website doesn't behave well or as you expect #wk23

navi6808ySome website use redirect. I manually slow the page load so I can stop it before the redirect.

rozzzly16718y@0tikurt not if they disable right click with javascript!!! In that case, there's nothing you can do, well nothing except for:
[ ctrl ] + [ shift ] + [ i ]
God do I love shitty DRM -
zshh38568yI've created plugins like this for news sites in my country. I wanted to publish it on GH but people told me not to because of legal stuff..

I do that all the time. I do that with Instagram when I just want to see an image and not have to log in.
-
@simeg Well if emulators are okay why not extensions right ? I don't think there will be a problem because of just a little extention and I didn't hear anyone getting sued for blocking annoying elements. You are acessing any non public data you are just changing the site into a more usable version privately. I think it would be under fair use.
-
I like using stylish for things like that. Though its very site specific you can't go wrong with it.

u2055172128yIt's useful to change input type from password to text in case you want to see what you are typing. Or if you want to hack some accounts 😎

Little Hack
It annoys me whenever I encounter a website like quora which hides the real content with a overlay and a pop up to sign in. Little do they know I just delete the overlay element from the Dom 😁😁.
Who else does this?
