I know, I know, the wisest thing to do is to abandon them, but today I came across a site that I simply couldn’t bypass because it always blocked me with an extremely stupid “disable your adblock” video, that infuriated me so much… I would 100% migrate to torrents if I didn’t find such unique catalogs on these sites.

    Big sites have caught onto this unfortunately, but sometimes switching to reader mode is a quick bypass. Putting the link in archive.is usually works, that’s what I do if it’s urgent local news (eg when my state is flooded or frozen or perhaps on fire)

        Thanks for the tip! That’s definitely a better option as I do kinda feel I’m taking advantage of the archive service sometimes.
