Steps to get around NYT Paywall

NYTPaywallWorkaround.md

A step by step guide wallthrough on how to access / read a NYT paywalled article

1. Open the NYT article you want to read in incognito mode
2. Open up your devtool console ([cmd][shift][j] on chrome/mac)
3. Open up the devtools command prompt ([cmd][shift][P] on chrome/mac)
4. Type in the command disable javascript into the command prompt, but don't hit enter
5. Reload the page
6. After the content loads but before the paywall appears, enter your disable javascript command
7. If paywall persists, return to step 3. Otherwise, enjoy your free article.
8. Happy reading!

There is a much easier way.
Simply save the page to your machine (via a "curl" command or ctrl+s in the browser) and open the saved HTML file.

FWIW - I support journalism and would gladly pay to read individual articles, but 95% of the NYT content is not interesting to me, so the subscription model doesn't make sense.

This apparently doesn't work any more

I use Firefox for developers, Idk if chrome or others have this or not.
go to inspect, select the three dots on the top (...) and select settings
come down to the advanced settings and select "Disable JavaScript"
this will disable the functionality for that one tab and will be forgotten when you open another one.
enjoy reading.

Thank you so much. This works but sadly doesn't load pictures.
