While effective and (some might argue) the only way to deal with the washington post.. You can also just disable javascript with dev tools

The best way to deal with said tom-foolery on the web is to just not go to those sites.

Not a fan of paying for things?

Not a fan of having malware on my computer. Not a fan of being tracked and my information sold to the highest bidder.

Interestingly enough, everything in my place is paid for. So it seems i am a fan of paying for things. Just not for the abuse Web companies elect to inflict.

I think you've replied to the wrong comment though, because they aren't taking the thing they aren't paying for, a course which lots of other comments in the surrounding context are recommending.

IMO it’s not safe to leave JavaScript enabled for the majority of sites anyway (especially news sites due to the advertising networks.)
