Find out how to turn off CSS with WebTools to bypass paywall, so you can read blocked websites without subscription.

Welcome to another useful content from the DiGiztal Bypass Paywalls Tips series.
CSS is a computer language used for adding style (e.g., fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents.

Disable CSS with WebTools to read articles free
This is what you do when at the paywalled article:
Press F12 key to bring out the WebTools or web developer tools.
Then click "Console" tab.
Add this line to the space after this symbol > (Chrome) or this symbol >> (Firefox).
document.querySelectorAll('style, link[rel="stylesheet"]').forEach(e => e.remove());
Press the "Enter" key, and immediately the blocked page changes.
Click X symbol to close the WebTools.
Now you can read the full article without being blocked by the paywall.
In short, you have get around the paywall of that particular article or web page.
If you continue to read another new article, you have to disable CSS again.
This is how to read paywalled articles for free by disabling the CSS.
