Open sokolq55 opened 5 years ago

New York Times no longer works. Can still get through in incognito. Thanks.

Blocking cookies from et.nytimes.com and meter-svc.nytimes.com seems to do the job.

met same problem.

Thank you @SpecificHat - blocking cookies from those two did the trick. Do you know of a similar workaround for washingtonpost? Or something that might apply more universally to different paywalls? Thanks!

A best practice in general on such sites is to set each to clear cookies (and maybe site data) upon exit.

hi,why I still cannot bypass the paywall after I have blocked cookies from et.nytimes.com and meter-svc.nytimes.com?

rpodric commented 5 years ago

Clearing the cookies is key. Blocking them won't do that.

frankzhangming commented 5 years ago

thanks,I will try again. rpodric notifications@github.com 于 2019年2月17日周日 11:33写道：

oh,hope for a new way.it;s not very convinient,but still thanks.

I meant manually clear all cookies related to nytimes.com just once. Then put in the blocks (which I don't even do, but some above have recommended it).

For good measure, I have Chrome set to automatically delete cookies related to nytimes.com upon closing the browser, which I do each night anyway. If you don't close your browser that often, the block would be a lot more important.

I have Chrome set to automatically delete cookies related to nytimes.com upon closing the browser,but useless except manually clear all cookies every time,very confusing.

That doesn't make sense, since even without the extension you'd be given X number (something like 10). It doesn't sound like it's actually clearing. And what do you mean by "all" (if it's cookies for all sites, that's not needed)? I assume you're using the recommended format in the "Clear on exit" section?

yes, I am using the recommended format in the "Clear on exit" section,is there another way? Thanks.

Having that set and exiting the browser should be exactly the same as what you're doing manually, though you weren't specific about what you were deleting manually. You should test to see if the cookies are actually being deleted.

frankzhangming commented 5 years ago

I deleted all cookies related with newyorktimes. com, and exited. But when I opened Chrome again, the cookies appeared again.

Nytimes.com. They will reappear if you revisit that site, but I assume you mean open Chrome to some other site and then examine cookies.

Anyway, you have a browser problem--I doubt that any cookies are deleting for you then no matter what you set. You might want to take it up from that standpoint (why don't cookies for any site that I set delete on exit) in a Chrome forum, or perhaps try Firefox.
