I made a small bookmarklet that helps me open websites using https://archive.today. This helps me bypass most paywalls.
To use it, drag the link below to your bookmarks bar. When you’re on a page that you want to open in archive.today, just click the bookmarklet and it will redirect you.
On Chrome on Android, you can just start typing the name of the bookmarklet (“Unpaywall” by default) into the address bar and click on the suggested bookmark.
Here’s what’s happening under the hood:
<a onclick="return false" rel="nofollow" href="javascript: (() => { if (!window.location.href.startsWith('https://archive.')) {window.location = 'https://archive.today/' + window.location.href; }})();"> Unpaywall</a>Inspired by the post to HN bookmarklet.
