#2Finally I'll be able to read posts on HN!
I know it's "against the rules" or "uninteresting" or whatever to comment about this sort of thing on HN posts, but I'm getting real tired of 3/4 of the HN posts being paid bullshit I'm not allowed to read. Even the archived links people post in the comments are inaccessible because CloudFlare.
I fail to see how paid articles adhere to the HN spirit of "interesting discussions" or whatever the exact rule is. These paid articles are more detrimental to "interest" than angry political yelling.

Actually it's not caused by cloudflare on two counts: cloudflare actually isn't a source of the captcha, the site author copied cloudflare's captcha page; and the site blocks cloudflare dns users because it doesn't send EDNS information.

#4Does anyone know what if anything is substantively different between the original bypass paywalls[1] and bypass paywalls clean? The implication, obviously, is that the original is unclean.

I'm so tired of reading this over and over again.
Do you need/use cloudflare for anything else besides their DNS? If not you can simply switch to https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/

The main difference AFAIK is that it allows a custom site list, a feature the original version dropped at some point. I do not know why the distinction is clean vs an implied unclean

I changed from that one to the clean one, from memory because it stopped working well.
The clean version seems to be updated constantly.

For probably 90% of the paywalled articles the discussion is interesting even if you don't read the article. First, the discussions often diverge from what is covered in the article. Second, even the parts of the discussion that haven't diverged often include enough context to figure out broadly what the article was saying.

The Chrome version of the original extension (other than the Firefox version) embedded Google analytics.
