Subject: Re: [Lynx-dev] For Blind Internet Users,
the Fix Can Be Worse Than the Flaws
Really?
When I followed the link in Lynx, I went right to the article, no issues.
I do not use Lynx regularly. Very few people really do.
I'm a little nearsighted, but not blind :-)
I was just "helping" people not using Lynx (w/o JavaScript)
that they could download my scraped-off NYT article that
I saved as a PDF on my home-page.
These are the options to deal with such issues AFAICS:
1) Add a rule in Chrome etc. to block the use of JavaScript
for https://www.nytimes.com only.
2.1) Go to a NYT link, right-click and Save as "only HTML".
This gives a local .html file with no JavaScript blocking
the content.
2.2) Optionally print the above local HTML-file as PDF-file using
the Windows "Print to PDF-file" option which I used.
But this does not include any pictures in an article.
Do you see other simple options to bypass a "pay-wall" like this?
There is this Chrome extension that I've not tried:
https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome
"A web browser extension to help bypass paywalls for
selected sites."
It mentions "New York Times" so it could be working.
