Buckshot, the Pigeon Paywall killer for NorthCountryNow.com
Basic extension that does the following things:
my.NCN hosts the subscription management and Pigeon paywall scripts. Let's just axe that in the bud right here. Killing all web requests to my.NCN also keeps the subscription bar from appearing (as expected), blocks Incognito detection (*if browser set to allow extension in Incognito), etc.
Theoretically, this could be removed from the extension and the host blocked via other means (ie Adblock filters, Host filtering, etc).
The Pigeon paywall software blocks access to content via HTML divs that have their property set to visible: hidden. The content.js script in my extension forces all of those back to inline so that they're viewable once the page is done loading. I'm sure I could do this without JQuery, but I'm fast and lazy, and I don't really know Javascript in the first place.
