      Wow! I didn’t know this existed. So it just turns JavaScript off to kill ads? I thought we could do that in our browsers ourselves.

          Sadly the firewall bypass doesn’t work as good as it did in the beginning :( A lot of websites changed how they implement a paywall and I read some rumours a while back, that some news sites closed a deal with the developer/hoster of 12ft. Allegedly, 12ft would be paid to exclude certain news sites from the bypass - I don’t know whether those rumours have been confirmed or not
