Bypass Tribune Paywall

This is a very simple Bookmarklet to bypass that annoying overlay that wants you to pay for news. Simply add this to your bookmarks and when you get the overlay, click it. It will close the overlay, the shadow layer and bring back your scrollbars. Enjoy.

If you want to use Alfred, you can. Just create an extension, map a hotkey to the script below an Viola! even faster access.

on alfred_script(q)
tell application "Google Chrome"
execute front window's active tab javascript "jQuery('div[class^=\"control-dialogContainer\"],div.dialog-overlay').remove();jQuery('html').css('overflow','scroll');void(0);"
end tell
end alfred_script
javascript:jQuery('div[class^="control-dialogContainer"],div.dialog-overlay').remove();jQuery('html').css('overflow','scroll');void(0);
