Behind a Paywall, unfortunately

View on HN

But so, so worth it to subscribe.

Seriously, if you only subscribe to one newspaper, the FT is well worth being that newspaper.

It is very expensive, but the coverage is pretty robust and not at all hysterical (which I really, really appreciate).

And own by the Nikkei so no Murdoch bullshit.

If you use firefox, install this https://bitbucket.org/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-c...

or this:

https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/release...

The one I linked is the clean version (without google-analytics)

Hmmm. From https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bypass-paywal...:

  This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing.

Yes. They will obviously not recommend a paywall bypasser.

There's a huge difference between "recommend" and "keep an eye on for security purposes".

After all, Mozilla doesn't seem to have a problem with UBlock Origin and similar things.

Every non-recommended addon has that warning. Addons are recommened based on number of users, use case etc. They are meant for non-technical users, to not install shady apps (adblock plus, ultra pro plus adblocker ++, etc)

The addon I linked doesnt even ask access to all sites. The developer has taken great care to request only for news sites, even though they are large in number
