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.

The Future of 12ft Ladder | Feb 2022
How is 12ft Ladder any different than this Github repo that does the same thing? This is one of the more popular repos as well at 22k stars.

Genuinely curious, as I've just been using [1] and have had no issues bypassing paywalls. If 12ft has access to more sites, or something, that would be a better use case.

The owner of the repo does not even want donations, just a star, otherwise, I'd contribute!
