Could probably try spoofing the user-agent of you really need to use their service (I mean, I wouldn't, this is wholly unethical). The Floorp browser (a fork of Firefox) comes with the ability to spoof to other browsers easily
I use chameleon to change my user agent every 60 seconds. Its just one of many tools that I think are important to protect your privacy in the web browser.
Why is it unethical?
I think they mean it would be wholly unethical reading CNN articles. :)
That is indeed what I meant (since they block the viewers based on browser haha)
I use a spoof agent, that could be the problem, if, as you say, anyone would really consider it a problem not reaching fucking CNN.
