Now that 12ft.io is down, are there any good alternatives to archive.ph for viewing paywalled articles?
You must log in or register to comment.
There’s archive.is.
Bypass paywalls clean is what i use
Same! It works with most popular sites.
*.ru
Uhh, no thanks
Genuine question, are Russian sites any worse or better than anywhere else these days?
You make a fair point; maybe I’ve become too cynical, but probably not. Seems like everything everywhere is enshittified all at once lately.
I think your right that yes it does seem like a coordinated crack down at the moment. Almost like round 2.
My experience with Russian sourced software is to treat it as low trust, like I do everywhere else, until proved otherwise. An example is gitflic.ru. I’m cautious about it but can see a number of developers moved there after being thrown of MS’s Github so a very legitimate reason to use it. Is potential Russian surveillance an worse than the government of the country in which you live. Probably not.
I would never install this into Firefox but I do want to point out that a lot of pirate stuff is hosted in Russia these days because they can ignore takedown requests
Isn’t archive.ph also russian?
*.ph should at the very least be Philippines, but to be completely honest I do not know.
You do know those don’t really mean anything unless used by a government agency, right?
Yes.
well if its any medium article you can try freedium.cfd
What’s wrong with archive.ph ?
Nothing is wrong with archive.ph , but it’s good to have a backup in case it goes down, or if it starts failing for some reason.
Sometimes I get a captcha of death there.
