This doesn’t work nearly as well as it did in the past. I don’t know the story behind 12ft, but they seem to be complying with any site which has requested it to not work on their articles.
Just tried both tricks on Bloomberg, neither works.
(I am also not a huge fan of NoScript. I know why people use it but I don’t want to take all that brokenness. The thing that makes ad blockers mass-compatible is that they have auto-updating block lists. I do have an own list to kill some additional disrespectful behaviors from websites like chat bots though.)
Not so in Firefox. F12, Settings, Disable JS, and then you need to keep dev tools open to stop the page from reloading (or maybe you can enter reader mode and then close dev tools).
Anywho. Kinda far from the point now that we’re discussing how to disable JS in dev tools which doesn’t fix my issue after I mentioned that I don’t like NoScript, an extension which also doesn’t fix my issue after we discussed how 12ftio yet again doesn’t fix my issue.

Bloomberg blocks the service entirely, as does NY Times. :/

On mobile, you can get NoScript but there are no dev tools. On desktop, keeping dev tools open is a little annoying too.

You probably shouldnt assume that your experience applies to others or even that they find the same experience manageable
That’s like when AdBlock Plus told advertisers they could be bribed to let their ads through.
Never worked well for me, tbh. I always went with archive.org which doesn’t work anymore as well. The publishers have won the internet.
