Apparently valuing your freedom is "white supremacy" and must be squashed according to the Washington Post. The modern American media is, and I am just going to say it, our enemy. Plain and simple. The article is paywalled but I will also provide a screenshot below for discussion.

Just to let folks know - and this works on MANY paywalled sites still....

If you click on "site settings" while on any site (directions below), go in and DISABLE javascript from running on that site. And then reload the page. Without the javascript running the paywall script won't run and then you will see the entire article. But many many new sites have curtailed that run around, so it won't work everywhere.

...

Chrome:

To manage site settings in Chrome, you need to visit the website. Once you have the website open, look at the URL bar. On the far left, just before the URL, you will see a padlock icon and the word Secure next to it. Click it and in the pop-up that opens, click Site Settings.

This will open the Chrome page for managing the settings. You can change every bit of permissions the website in question can ask for.

For example, in the screenshot below you can see that notifications for Facebook have been disabled. You can change it by opening the dropdown next to the respective permission and selecting a different option e.g., change it from blocked to allowed. You can reset it to default by selecting the Ask (default) option.

Brave:

Change settings for all sites

On your computer, open Brave. At the top right, click Menu icon_MM.png → Settings. At the bottom, click Advanced. Under Privacy and security, click Site settings. Click the permission you want to update.

Permissions that can be changed

Cookies: Cookies are files created by websites you visit. They make your online experience easier by saving browsing information. Learn more about managing cookies.
Location: By default, Brave asks you if a site can see your exact location information.
Camera: Some sites can ask to use your camera and microphone.
Microphone: Some sites can ask to use your camera and microphone.
Notifications: Some websites can show notifications on your computer desktop. By default, Brave asks you if a site can show notifications.
Autoplay: Media content on websites will ask you by default whether or not you'd like to allow Autoplay for that site.
JavaScript: JavaScript helps make sites more interactive and rich in content.
Flash: The Adobe Flash plugin lets you hear and see audio and video content. By default, Brave asks if you want to run Flash when you visit a page using it.
Images: Images are allowed by default.
Popups: By default, pop-ups are blocked from showing up automatically.
Sound: By default, sites will allow media content to play with sound - use this permission to allow or block specific websites from doing so.
Automatic downloads: If you want to download multiple files from a site, choose whether to download them automatically or not.
Unsandboxed plugin access: Some sites need plug-ins so they can let you do things like stream video or install software. By default, Brave asks you if a site's plug-in can bypass Brave's sandbox to access your computer.
Handlers: Brave allows external applications and web services to open certain links. For example, certain links can open a site like Gmail or a program like iTunes. If you set a default action for a type of link but want to delete it, clear your browsing data and select "Cookies and other site data.
MIDI devices: Some websites want to use System Exclusive (SysEx) messages to gain full access to MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) devices.
Zoom levels: You can set how much you zoom in to certain websites. Learn more about zooming in or out.
USB devices: You can connect a website to a USB device, which lets the website control and record information from the device. Learn more about pairing Brave with USB devices.
PDF documents: By default, Brave opens PDFs in the Brave PDF viewer. To download PDFs instead of opening them, turn on Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Brave.
Protected content: Choose to let Brave play protected content.

Change settings for a specific site

You can allow or block permissions for a specific site. The site will use its settings instead of the default settings.

On your computer, open Brave. Go to a website. To the left of the web address, click the icon you see: Secure icon_lock.png, Not secure icon_warn.png, or Dangerous icon_warn2.png. Click Site settings. Change a permission setting. Your changes will automatically save.
