micah1701 / tribune articles remove registration wall beautified-version
Last active August 29, 2015 14:08
Bookmarklet to view content behind the registration walls on Tribune newspaper sites, like chicagotribune.com and the Hartford Courant. To use, simply create a new bookmark in Chrome and set the minified version of the below code as the "URL." Then click the bookmark whenever you encounter a modal popup that asks you to register or log in. Note:…
javascript: void((function(d) {
var modalblock = document.getElementById("reg-overlay");
modalblock.parentElement.removeChild(modalblock);
var style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
style.innerHTML = 'body,html { overflow: auto !important; }';
d.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(style);
})(document));
