Pirating guitar and bass tabs? (self.piracy)

It seems like the only two options to get tabs nowadays are gtabs and songsterr. I prefer songsterr out of the two, but constantly get harassed to buy the premium version and certain important features are paywalled.

Basically my question is is there a way to bypass the premium subscription to get all the full features or a better alternative out there with a database of tabs as large as the two have. I want to be able to hear the playback of the tab and control the speed at which it goes.

You can get torrents full of the archives from sites that used to host tabs for GuitarPro and pirate that software, the one downside is , its like tens of thousands of tabs so its a bit much to organize.

Songsterr seems usable to me with adblocking on, Also I often just search YouTube and find videos with tabs displayed.

Songsterr is usable with adblocking on however I still get annoying popups in the middle of playing that say switch to premium. You also can't change the playback speed without premium which is very annoying.

Are you not able to use the element zapper to block the pop-up from appearing?

With Ublock Origin, click on the extension and at the bottom there is "element zapper" and "element picker". I usually select one of these, then use it to select the unwanted pop-ups.

Just be careful, sometimes the popups are designed to blank out the whole page you're trying to view. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
