Only paywalls that act as pop-ups can be bypassed when using the archive.is trick. If you're trying to access an article from ''The New York Times'' from a century ago, the content you can see for free is restricted, and there is often a link saying "View Full Article In TimesMachine." When clicking on that link, the immediate page which shows up is a paywall, not one that acts as a pop-up appearing moments after opening the page. In the vast majority of instances, there's no way to bypass this. However, once in a while, you can modify the URL by changing the ".html" at the end to ".pdf" and successfully access the full version. This is rare though. |
