Summary

Software written in direct response to my local news (NorthCountryNow) implementing a super aggressive paywall platform. This script utilizes JQuery as well as Chrome web request blocking to block the paywall server as well as un-hide all elements that are normally hidden when the page loads if you aren't signed in.
