Another work-around for the persistent type or just the ad-blocker sites is the Opera browser, been using it across all my platforms for about 20 years (it connects all devices to each other should you desire) and has a feature called ‘inspect element’ that you can get by most blocks. I used it last night even to post a URL here.

It is for the techy types though that know the basics in HTML by removing the offending site’s drawbridge (paywalls too) code and would only consider it on a PC where you have the space to see it. (I don’t bother with sites like the NYPost or DM as they don’t even know the difference between a boy or girl)

Also on the topic is the Opera News app that I have on my phone, I see foxnews.com articles all the time on their news feed.

Thanks, but HTML is a bit out of my realm. I’m a mainframe dinosaur, since the glorious year of ‘69 and Woodstock, when mainframes were the size of a pickup truck. I could learn it, but after about a dozen or so languages I’m done with coding and technical stuff in general. I spend about an hour or so a day on the internet, the rest of the day is spent outdoors, or in my workshop.
