I fucking hate when sites do this. Dangling 'premium' content in front of you and saying "Haha can't have it". Here's how to get round this horseshit. I did this in chrome btw, i assume you can do the same in all browsers.
Right click the page and select 'Inspect Element'.
In the list that pops up, mouse over each entry until the part of the site you want to remove is highlighted. In this case its the semi-transparent overlay covering everything. Right click & delete that mother fucker.
Repeat for all parts you want to remove.
Enjoy the site's content.
If you have some bullshit regional bullshit stopping you as well, like in the image, install 'Hola' and that sorts that. I use both of these to watch SouthPark in the UK from the official site.
EDIT: My first front page OC! Lots of people saying it's stealing. I suppose it is taking advantage of sites that operate like this, and been tech savvy enough to know how doesn't entitle you to do so.
If you feel it's stealing then just don't do it. In my example i just wanted to see the page on Robin Williams. I aint signing up for a 2 week trial, giving card details, going through all that bullshit to then spend 10 seconds on the page that is already right in-front of me, and to which i'll never return. http://imgur.com/aQZHy.

I felt so let down by South Park Studios when they went from a few free episodes, to all free episodes, to this forced advertisement crap.

Experimented with this on Pintrest. Confirmed. It worked!

Am I the only one here who believes websites have a right to try to sell their content?
addam13roox
To get past some paywalls from even some of the elite legacy media mogals was find your article. begin reading until the block. Copy Url address. Go to Google translate paste in the left side regardless of language. The translated right side link paste and go. Iv had great success with it. Here in Australia The Advertiserm Sunday mail, sydney herald and messenger

Ain't nobody got time fo dat

Is there an add-on/script you can teach us to have this blocked on every website automatically?
superwaffle
You can use adblock to block the element which is causing this so it will be blocked for good on that specific site.
socca1157
Every site implements things differently.
Gambit306
Hola is blocked in my country :(
TheGreatLeader
yeah, until the southpark site went to shit.....

You rock. I am horrible when it comes to computers.
8bitdan
I did not make this. In proper Imgur form, I stole it from the last time this was posted. :)
Sleepsintrees
It's the thought that counts.
kmchicoine
Anyone know how to make this work with Chegg?
ThisSceneDoesntIncludeALapDance
I use Hola Unblocker (Chrome App/Plug In), does it all automatically and it is easy to use, this requires effort and doesn't always work
serenityfast
Never use Hola unless you're truly desperate. You're putting your account security in the hands of complete strangers.

or you can use vpn, bestvpnservice.com

Has anyone figured out how to determine who anonymous viewers are on Linkedin without paying a fortune everyone month?
germangirl1224
This is cool, but I don't know how I feel about the whole stealing part. Sometimes you gotta man up and pay for stuff. Such is life
icantstoplaughingimhigh
You obviously have never been broke and in need of an answer to something. These sites are the worst.
SteamedOddish
I think it's more for sites you'll only use once or twice rather than regularly.
CynicalFish
It's not really stealing, if you wanted to read it the hard way without using Chrome then just look at the page source :/

Will this work for BBC iPlayer? Trying to convert my South-African friend to Doctor Who.

this works to a certain degree. you wont be able to click on anything behind the blurry part once you delete it. i tried :(
LetMePlayYouTheSongOfMyPeople
Yeah, you can remove the clicktrap element too.
Vellii
as someone who is fairly new to this, how?
LetMePlayYouTheSongOfMyPeople
If you hover over the elements in the inspector, it highlights them. Look for one that covers whole page. Rest is trial and error.
cracktoberfest
Oh yes you can...you just have to also remove the covering element from the DOM.
dustoftheroadswalked
Smart websites just put BS generated text behind the ad. Never serve end user any data you do not want them to be able to see.
lesserknowncharacter
Yeah, you can't actually click on any of the links and get information on IMDb Pro or anything.
appliedmathematics
Just did this only to realize it was literally a jpeg of blurred content...was hoping the unblurred version would have a similar url....alas
cskelley
They put the real text behind the ad so that Google will index their content and get good search rankings.

cooool! is this how 4Chan got the Jen Lawrence pics???

Sorry, my sarcasm detector is not as reliable as it used to be. I've read too much weird shit that people meant seriously.

All good. Don't worry, I'm still paying my 99c :)

Wow. I never thought about this...
DrKateStumplebutt
Does this not work with a website like glassdoor or am I doing it wrong?
CaveCanem
I'd never been to glassdoor before but I went there to check it out. I don't see anything intrusive. What are you trying to block there?
DrKateStumplebutt
If you browse for a bit, eventually every review except the top becomes blurred and blocked by a thing saying you have to make an account
CaveCanem
Yes, it should work, right click the box that pops up and block that, then right click anywhere that's blurred, it's an overlay, block that.

I love me some Ad block - http://www.watch-tvseries.net makes commercial free entertainment
Efreeti
Opera 12 has block elements built in :V
Shnargophagus
How to do get past websites that won't let you watch stuff because you HAVE adblock?
CaveCanem
Adblock blocker blocker. It's out there somewhere.
MyImaginationOnAFreeRun
but then there's those sites who says "heyyoo you there disable adblock to see this for it to work."
Imghurrr
Also easier/quicker way to do the element inspector is to use the hover search div tool and just press the delete button on the keyboard
MrPredator
Use Noscript + Adblocker as a double whammy. Had to do this not too long ago. I don't mind ads and such to help sites, but this is BS.
Omnomniscient
What would you recommend as an alternative to noscript while using Chrome?
MrPredator
I use FF, so I have no clue. It's hard to say.
godzillasgreatleader
Talk to me about no script
aFadingMemory
Extention that automatically blocks all scripts except those you white list. I ran no antivirus for years with no script and had 0 malware.
matrix86
Yeah, after I installed noscript, when I ran my monthly scans, I noticed a big drop in malware detected on my computer.
