Description of problem:
Detected Better and won’t allow me to read an article unless I subscribe to Boston Globe
LK: Let's you read two full articles then blocks you from reading any more. Does not appear to stop tracking for subscribers. It also blocks viewing pages on private browsing.
The blocking itself is done with CSS (limiting height/scrolling) inserted via JS, so I think it should be fairly easy to circumvent.
It could do with inspecting too, as we don’t appear to be blocking anything.
