There's no ads when you use uBlock Origin.

No tracking cookies, either lol

This pop-up finally caused me to learn how the element zapper feature works

There's a filter list for cookie popups.

Pretty sure this is illegal but I guess whatever fine they get is just the cost of business

I choose option 3, violence. PopUpOFF, AdNauseam, CanvasBlocker, and Bypass Paywalls Clean. Fuck you, fuck your ads, and fuck your tracking. Please eat shit and die. 🙃

The normal paid one (~£15 a month or £150 a year) is still fully ad-free, and can be (officially) shared with "a few friends and family". This looks like a new "pay less but have adverts" subscription option, which is obviously a bit shitty and questionable.

It's a bit pricey, but it's one of the few British news sources without a right wing bias, and we need it to still exist.

It doesn't excuse the privacy paywall though.

They’re still rife with TERFs, they sacked Carole Cadwalladr, and now they’re pivoting to AI, so I wouldn’t give them a penny.
