Bypass Paywalls Clean will let you read them, as an alternative to hiding. I think you have to manually install it but it will auto-update after that.
It may let you read some sites, but it has never worked for me. I constantly run in to paywalls despite using this.
Do you have any examples? I have never seen a paywall while using this. They have a list of supported sites, though I'm not sure if all of them are guaranteed to work 24/7 or if they need frequent updates.
Basically all the large national news sites where I live are unaffected by this filter. This article for example has a paywall when i visit.
You can always add them as a custom site. https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean#add-custom-site
You should submit some issues for those sites with these steps - maybe they'll add them to the list. The addon supports 453 sites at the moment by my count, so I'm sure they'd love for you to tell them about more sites that haven't been bypassed yet.
Of you want to hide them, both Kagi and Brave Search should have filters for this, or you could create your own.
That really fries my fritatas. I gave up trying to read news articles online because of this problem. You just want to read one article, but they expect you to pay for a freakin' subscription. Yeah I have all the money in the world to spend on subscriptions and I really want more email from sites I have no interest in the other 264 days of the year.
