Safari Reader Can Bypass Soft Paywall Overlays
Original: Safari Reader Can Show Article Text Before Soft Paywall Overlays Appear
Safari's Reader mode can display full article text before a site's soft paywall overlay loads, letting readers view stories intended to sit behind a subscription prompt. The trick works because Reader strips page elements before overlays render, affecting publications that rely on client-side paywall scripts rather than server restrictions.
Why now: Readers and publishers are discussing an easy built-in browser method that circumvents soft paywalls.
