LIFE PRO TIP: Read News Articles Behind Paywalls (EXPAND)
If you're ever on a news site, and you want to read an article that's behind a paywall, try sending it to Outline.com.
HOW TO?
In the address bar, add "outline.com/" behind the URL.
For example:
https://example.com/cat-saved-from-tree/
becomes
outline.com/https://example.com/cat-saved-from-tree/
Then hit enter and just wait for the site to load. 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘭𝘢! Enjoy.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
Alternatively, you can automate this process by installing the browser extension "Send to Outline". It will make this whole thing easier by sending the webpage to Outline.com in one click.
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/send-to-outline/
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/send-to-outlinecom/ibmkfdbakdbcfllldjgaeefkahecbeoe
