stop the page from loading before the paywall loads

definitely works better on desktop but doable on mobile/safari. you see the little reload page button by the url? when you click it to reload a page, it is replaced by a X. if you click the X before the page fully reloads, you can load the article but not the paywall. totally reflex based. for legal reasons I Have Never Done This And Am Just Relaying Information And Do Not Encourage Others To Do This. so this is an anti-rec.

Using safari's "reader mode"

Great for minimizing ads and distractions, but even more great for getting around roughly 50% of paywalls (without having to copy and paste urls or download any extra extensions/tools)

The best trick for getting around paywalls

in Chrome is going to settings --> privacy and security --> site settings --> JavaScript. Under "not allowed to use JavaScript" add the sites you want to access. This is the only trick I've found that works 100% of the time. Video players and widgets that use JavaScript won't work of course but if you want to read something without a pop-up telling you to turn off your adblocker followed by another pop-up saying you've reached your article limit this will do it.
