I do not condone using this method unless you are dirt poor, already have a subscription, or just don't want to line the pockets of corporate media. Whatever your reason, proceed at your own risk.

  1. Use Firefox or Chrome. Please, please, ditch Edge.

  2. Download and install the uBlock Origin add-on/extension for your browser.

  3. Once installed and configured (see Google if you need help with this), click on uBlock Origin and then click on the gears icon in the bottom-right of the window to open up the uBlock Origin Dashboard.

  1. Click on My filters, then add these two lines:

! https://madison.com

||madison.com/shared-content/art/tncms/api/access.js$script,1p,important

When you are done it should look similar to this (mine has the date added):

  1. Reload madison.com and enjoy no paywall.

What you are doing is blocking this kind-of nasty file that tracks and blocks your ad blocker, blocks you form using in-private mode, and sends metrics to servers unknown.
