How to read articles on globes.co.il or themarker.co.il for free

Websites that rely on subscription still want the search engines to be able to read the content, so we can simulate such request by changing a user agent

One way is by installing an extension, another is by doing it directly in chrome like this:

1. Open the developer tools by clicking F12

2. Select "network conditions" in the tools:

3. Set the google desktop user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)


4. Refresh the tab.

For www.themarker.com use another user agent: msnbot/1.1 ( http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)

Another alternative is to use the very useful Chrome extension to do the user agent replacement automatically based on domain: User-Agent Switcher, can be downloaded from here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher/kchfmpdcejfkipopnolndinkeoipnoia?hl=en#:~:text=User%20Agent%20Switcher%20is%20simple,commonly%20used%20user%20agent%20strings.
