    Options 1 and 2 from your removepaywall-link are archive.ph and archive.fo, both are not allowed in this comm. Option 3 cannot connect to server, option 4 wants me to enable cookies and java script and option 5 only shows the first paragraph but no sign that there’s more (basically the article but without the paywalled part and without the paywall popup).

      The paywall link is there if you want to use it.

      Getting a subscription to the economist is also an option.

        The paywall link is useless. That’s my point.

          I don’t get what you’re aiming for here. The link can remove a paywall for those who want, if you don’t then don’t use it?

          It’s not useless, it does what it says on the tin.

            The top two options are known to spread malware and should not be used, the others don’t work, ergo your link does not work and does not do what it says on the tin ergo is useless.

              Then you post the articles and a way to read them before I do and all is resolved.

              Thanks.
