Is there a story on your "favorite" news site, but you're out of your 2 free articles a month? Well, never fear! There's a website for that.

Archive dot ph will break pretty much any paywall. Even those with "hard" paywalls. There are some it won't break, but there are very few. So give it a try.

@LiberalLibrarian What do you do? Type it in after the paywall hits or before? Do you type it as "archive.ph? I dont understand

@Gardenthymeherbs If you use Chrome, the easiest way is to install the Chrome extension. Then you just click on the extension when you are on a page you want to read. Otherwise, copy the web address, open archive ph, and paste it in the text box.

Here's a geeky question. Where is ".ph" at, geography-wise? (e.g., .es is EspaΓ±a, .ch is Switzerland I think - confederation helvetica, .ca is Canada...)

@Vanitas

.ph is the country code top level domain (ccTLD) for the Philippines...but those don't really mean much anymore, as countries sell domains in their ccTLDs for profit

the best example of this is the ccTLD for the tiny island nation of Tuvalu...which is .tv

and as far as I can tell, archive dot ph is hosted in Russia...
