if you want to block ads or bypass paywalls on news sites, add a . at the end of the domain
a dot at the end serves up the same content as without it but it's a misconfiguration of the domain name system setup that most web admins make
an unintended result of this is that ad network scripts, paywall scripts, tracking scripts etc. are setup for the proper domain and don't execute on this alternate ghost, thus ads being blocked and paywalls bypassed
works on many of the big sites
to the browser's interpretation
