I firmly believe people should support local journalism when they are able to...

BUT here's an interesting quirk that I just found that seems to inadvertently bypass the Brisbane Times (and all Fairfax/Nine sites) paywall.

Simply enable "strict" tracking protection in Firefox. It works by blocking cdn.tinypass.com/api/tinypass.min.js

Anyway, enjoy! And remember to support local journalism (maybe click an ad or something lol)

Breaking news from Brisbane & Queensland, plus a local perspective on national, world, business and sport news.

Brisbane Times

@phocks I don’t care about paying for Brisbane Times’ shitty journalism :)

@phocks all nine/fairfax sites like BT have the article in a script tag in the DOM. the only one that doesn’t is afr.

@cool_d I get my news RIGHT FROM THE SOURCE hahahaha

@phocks what’s an ad?

@phocks Two for one, I didn't realise Firefox on my iPhone didn't have strict mode turned on, thanks! It worked!

@didoesdigital Interesting that it works on iOS too!

@phocks So I should be able to just pihole that on address, no?
