       Updated (see my reply): Constantly, when I read articles on the NY Times website (Firefox in Android), the site pops up annoying "upgrade" offers and demands that I use the app. Is there any way to remove these vandalisms permanently?

       @dangillmorTry the add-ons Privacy-Badger and uBlock Origin. Both helps together. If you know how to use try NoScript.

       @dangillmor view the article in archive.is instead? It works sometimes.

       @dangillmor Firefox's Reader Mode may help. If the page can be viewed in Reader Mode, a page icon will appear in the menubar. Just tap it.

       @dangillmor I don't subscribe to NYT and get obscuring popups on "gift" articles announcing it's a gift article and pitching a subscription. Can't think of a worse sales tactic.

       @dangillmor I agree that those pop ups are little bit annoying when you're already a sus criber. But, i do understand the need to keep founded by readers to keep independant journalism alive. (and whithout commercial advertisement pop ups). As a reader from France, it helps me trust their informations ( i'm also a suscriber of The Guardian for the same reasons). And as a retired journalist, i know information is not free, otherwise i would not have had a job those last twenty years....

       @dangillmor Set your browser to do "Reader Mode" by default.

       @stellarsarah The archive sites (not including archive.org) are not trustworthy enough for me. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/search-engines/archive-today-allegedly-leads-bizarre-ddos-campaign-against-security-blogger-wikipedia-considers-removing-all-links-to-the-archive

       UPDATE: Looks like Ublock Origin has solved this, at least for now. The Element Picker zaps offending frames/elements. Whether this will be persistent, I'm not sure. But for now it's working.

       @dangillmor Element Picker is a great feature for a whole range of internet frictions. 👍
