Many websites now don’t even load the full content of the page before a person is logged in. So getting rid of the overlay only makes the last line of the first paragraph slightly more visible, before the page abruptly ends. NYT in particular has really cracked down on workarounds in the past couple of years.
12ft.io sometimes works if they haven’t been paid off, and if the above advice does work on a site, adding a “.” At the end of the domain is generally faster and has effectively the same result (e.g. https://www.wired.com./<path>)
The only consistent workaround I’ve found is using the internet archive websites (as mentioned in post). If nobody else has archived that page though, you’re looking at a good number of minutes before you can look at it while it archives.
It does’ however, have the somewhat hilarious and unexpected side effect of allowing you to bypass your company’s site blacklist in order to access read-only versions of, for example, old reddit discussions about a specific problem you’re having that stack overflow was patently useless for.
This advice is ancient, and rarely works anymore.
