How does this, (or 12ft.io for that matter) actually work? Client-side trickery? Magic cookies? Something like adblock?
EDIT: Apparently it just blocks JS and disguises itself as an SE crawler. This still doesn’t work on sites like Bloomberg, and if I understand correctly nothing can be done there.
I use the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension in Firefox to access Bloomberg, among others. I had it installed before it got taken down, so be careful where you get it from nowadays.

I just installed this a couple days ago and already used it twice. It’s super easy and convenient.
This is amazing!!
I wish I had even half the braincells required to understand the installation for this.
Just a grammatical nitpick in the readme but as a compound adjective it would be 13-foot Ladder. “That ladder is 13 feet tall” vs “That is a 13-foot tall ladder”.
