Trying to read regional newspapers without restrictions.

I like to read our regional newspaper on line. Depending which of several browsers I try, somehow each of them show limited length of articles.  The only way I've found thus far of getting to read an article in its entirety, is via one of the many Google apps. I've newspapers, then adding the one I want, IE Dorset Echo.

Has anyone discovered a browser that eliminates pop-ups,ads etc

    Blimey, QRcode ? I'm 82 aware they exist but haven't used one before. Presumably I have to try and find it on their homepage, scan and save. Will go and experiment. keep your eye open for my update please .

    I'm just wondering, if the report re pub noise is available to you as a 1/2 paragraph or much longer piece.
  • Right, I've done it, got bar code thing on phone, used your QR code, gave me Dorset Echo, looked at a coupld of news items, but on each one, it only provided a very short section of text.

    I can get the full article (20 Paragraphs)...If you can't use the QR code use the other methods (text or type the link given into a browser).

    Can also read it here with no problem..... Dorset Echo - Breaking news, sport, homes, jobs, cars and what's on in Weymouth and Portland

    A lot of sites have the survey blocker that stops you seeing the full article until you answer a question or find the skip option.

    I used the link above and got the survey block.

    Never saw any survey, do you not have an adblocker? There is no survey on the mobile site either.

  • I've now installed "free adblocker browser" ,simply because the unlock origin seemed to be aimed at desktop. I have Brave which comes with its own blocking system.  

    Rumrat, tomorrow I will try the two other options you suggested. (Getting two many external interruptions here).
