Umm I was reading the comments, does nobody else go into the page's HTML and delete the "pay now" popup. Usually deleting the code works for me. Let me know if you have a way that works for you!

Generally the first thing I try is to hit ESC to stop a paywall script from running.

If that doesn't work I try pressing ctrl-A ctrl-C to copy the whole page as soon as I see something. This works on pages that load and are then hidden by a script, but you have to be quick. Then I open Notepad and paste. If this doesn't work I'll either try it once more and see if I can be faster or just say screw it, if they want to hide their content that bad I don't need it. If it's important to me google will usually find the same news or info somewhere else.
