It sends it to a new mail document where you can choose PDF, Web Page, Reader mode, or URL link. Works with all the paywalls I've come across so far. I choose PDF so that I can edit it and remove all the ads and assorted crap so I can save and/or share the attributed article.CuJoYYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235525186436704142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-82344591997174603842013-11-05T16:24:48.759-08:002013-11-05T16:24:48.759-08:00One thing about paywalls is, each individual one m...One thing about paywalls is, each individual one may make sense, but collectively . . . there are a lot of websites out there.

You wouldn't work for free so why should you expect them to do that?<br /><br />As I said the freebie stuff becomes messaging in lieu of information. You have to decide if that's what you want your society to accept.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-23969011871629235602013-11-05T12:23:25.203-08:002013-11-05T12:23:25.203-08:00Use NoScript with forefox.

The G&M and the Postmedia papers can go pound sand. <br /><br />Right click on the story and open it in a private window (firefox) or incognito window (chrome).
