Paywall Remover Script

paywallRemover.js

/*
A quick and dirty javascript to paste in devtools (F12 in browser) console to remove client-side paywalls
After running, you'll have a "hide" button you can press to get rid of the currently displayed paywall/overlay.
You may need to press it several times.

You'll also have a "close" button to hide the buttons.

If you want to use on Android/Chrome, you can!  Use the following abbreviated version.  Add as a bookmark
(will have to manually re-add the "javascript: " at the front) then launch by typing the name of the bookmark
in the address bar and pressing on it (clicking from the bookmark section does not work).  I named my bookmark
"rmp" so that I could find it explicitly faster.

Bookmarklet version made with: https://chriszarate.github.io/bookmarkleter/
