Do you know why does it work?

looks like the JavaScript doesn't run because of CORS

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://www.bloomberg.com/markets/modules/datastrip.json?ver.... (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).

So it only works for sites that depend on (client-side) JS to block the content?

It didn't work for me. Instead it said I'm in private mode and said I should subscribe to keep reading.

I'm using Firefox FWIW.

This https://pastebin.com/UiyghKpq userscript should fix it. I found it few years ago somewhere on reddit. It works on multiple media sites that don't like private mode.

And "Bypass Paywalls" firefox addon removes the need to insert the dot into address.

Try the temporary containers plugin ;-)
