Is there an alternate article link without paywall?

This should help:

"If you're using Chrome 74+, you can set a flag that prevents sites from detecting that you're using Incognito mode. Go to chrome://flags and enable "Filesystem API in Incognito". That's it! Sites won't know you're in Incognito anymore (until they find a new sneaky way)."

Thanks for the trick HeWhoLurksLate, it worked!

You're welcome! I wish I was clever enough to come up with it, the GP has where I found it.

Bittercynic meantioned in another comment on a different post the following method.

“Fwiw adding

0.0.0.0 samizdat-graph

to your /etc/hosts fixes this for me”

> samizdat-graph

what? that's not even a valid domain.

should be

  0.0.0.0   samizdat-graphql.nytimes.com

in /etc/hosts

Thanks! I really appreciate your tip!

Hmm, interesting GQL endpoint name choice by NYT devs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samizdat

Works great with javascript disabled

For mobile, download Chrome beta, and then open in incognito mode. You'll get the 10 articles left message.

For Firefox you can try https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-firefox

Use Incognito Mode.
