    I just downloaded Firefox and installed uBlock on my phone to test this. Didn’t work. Any specific settings?

    Edit: hmm OK, figured out the custom filter import for paywalls… do you feel comfortable adding Javascript managed by random people to your browser?

    For anyone who doesn’t know this… Install uBlock > My filters > scroll down until you see import…

    Import these two:

    https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt

    I don’t know… I don’t feel comfortable doing this. I usually only install trusted stuff in my machines. This feels like an easy way to get screwed.

    That person could go rogue and then you have malicious Javascript running next to your credentials on every tab.

    Edit 2: after checking in detail, those filters aren’t Javascript logic. So it seems fine. I thought it was some form of minimized Javascript

      I was actually mistaken in my earlier comment, I meant to say Bypass Paywalls Clean, but actually that add-on was removed previously from the Firefox store due to a copyright claim (it became too popular). I have it installed because it was only removed from the store, not from users who had it installed already.

      Like you found out though your searching though, the BPC filter list can be imported into uBlock Origin through it’s settings menu.
