A site similar to 12ft.io but is self hosted and is more smooth
This is a simple self hosted server that has a simple but powerful interface to block ads, paywalls, and other nonsense. Specially for sites like medium, new york times which have paid articles that you normally cannot read. Now I do want you to support the creators you benefit from but if you just wanna see one single article and move on with your day then this might be helpful
It pretends to be GoogleBot (Google's web crawler) and gets the same content that google will get. Google gets the whole page so that the content of the article can be indexed properly and this takes advantage of that.
First make sure you have python installed on your machine, then go to a terminal (Command Prompt
on Windows, Terminal
on Mac) and run the following command:
python -m pip install flask
If that doesn't work retry but replace python
with py
, then try python3
, then try py3
Then download the file and run it, click this link for a tutorial on how to run python scripts
Then follow these simple steps
