I’m always eager to find new amazing sites i’ve never heard of, which ones would you recommend?

    12ft.io, because the sheer amount of nagwalls are getting absurd. I gladly subscribe to newspapers I frequently read, but without being able to check them out I wouldn’t sub to any (or very few) of them.

    Also tosdr.org . Not bad to have an idea what terms you’re accepting…

    https://search.marginalia.nu/ is a great little search engine for research. It favors results that would most likely be buried in the larger engines, excellent for finding lesser known sources.

    Also the “random” button is a lot of fun, and fairly nostalgic if you remember the late 90s-early 00s web. Lots of geocities style personal websites still out there apparently.

    I use Firefox with temporary containers and a combination of DDG & Google to get around paywalls.

    1. Once you have temporary containers installed in Firefox, find an article that’s behind a paywall. I read the Financial Times, for example.
    2. Copy the title of a story.
    3. Open a new tab.
    4. Search the story title in DDG using the g! at the end. For example, “Xi sees ‘progress’ in China-US ties at meeting with Blinken g!”
    5. Find the story and click on it. Enjoy your read.
