It looks nice! Does it have some paywall-busting powers, like Firefox's built-in reader mode?

Quite often, you can get through many a paywall by switching to reader mode and then reloading the page. Previously hidden content appears.

Thank you!

Admittedly, paywall-busting doesn't work as well with Unclutter as with the text-extraction methods. But it's still effective for most sites and there are custom tweaks e.g. for nytimes.com.

I'm thinking about improving on this actually. It would be cool to fetch the page content from web archives automatically if it detects a paywall. Kind of like the "archive.is" links people post here all the time, but with less clutter.

I use the Bypass Paywalls extension [0] for this, and it works great with Unclutter.

I've been using the latter for years now too. It still doesn't work with hard paywalls like the ones on economist.com or wsj.com.
