Is there a way to block the paywall prompt that shows up after you've read a certain number of articles?

No way. Sometimes certain paywalls can be bypassed but only because have some bug.

OK I thought this one might be possible because the article is visible underneath the paywall prompt. Thanks.

I don't see the paywall you're describing, however, there is unblocked tracking and ads.
Unblocked ads:
Code: Select all
||newyorker.com/static/failsafe/
||newyorker.com/images/CM/failsafe/
Examples:
Code: Select all
https://www.newyorker.com/static/failsafe/global-navbar-rollover.html
https://www.newyorker.com/static/failsafe/end-of-article-tout.html

If you read a few articles, it will prompt you to pay to continue reading.

Now Easylist blocks the prompt that tells you you've hit the paywall so you only see a grayed out screen. Is it possible to unblock the paywall overlay? I don't think it's possible to bypass the paywall entirely.

Check from your side.

1. for chrome, Install

Super cool, thank you.
I did that and I added the filter, but I still get a gray overlay on articles which I think is a remnant of the paywal overlay.
Here is a screenshot:

Here is a paste of my filters from uBo, if it helps:

This still didn't work but thanks for your help. Maybe I need to delete the existing cookie?

We can't add this, because the user wouldn't know when they hit the limit (if its hidden)
