Why doesn’t BPC just split the functionality of the extension, so that the filter list is a separate entity?
Tragic, but this functionality can still be done with Ublock origin and/or Noscript extensions
Is there a list somewhere?
That is the list.
Ublock origin requires Filters that you can select from a provided list, or enter in/download yourself.
Noscript (likely redundant but I don’t know how to use Ublock to do this) lets you select which scripts a site runs and disable whichever ones are necessary to clean the page of garbage/reveal the article.
Every page is different and changes so it isn’t perfect but once you are familiar with how it works you can ‘Pick’ blocking boxes to automatically create a filter that removes the box (on reload) if necessary.
Ok, will just keep using archive.is
If only they applied the same rigor to big tech scraping the same content into large language models. I guess the bypass paywall team wasn’t big enough to afford the legion of lawyers that Sam Altman and co can summon on demand. We can just wait for chatgpt to serve those articles direct to our search results and nobody will even visit their website, because we live in a world where stealing an article to read is illegal, while stealing all of them for profit is not.
