Tired of the war. Getting AI to browse for you.

Wife is shouting at me for her newspaper on the blocklist. I block via custom DNS, so I can't just right click and disable for 5mins. So I dig in and try to figure out what to unblock. I get a raft of requests to about 20 sites. What do I do? How do I know these sites are safe? The anti adblocker script includes a howto for disabling adguard, but also an email, so I sent the site owner and email asking for their advice.

I'll let her give up a bit of privacy to read one article, but I can't allow anything and disable security completely. I'm being quite lenient here: I'm not even trying to stop the digital twin footprint build-up.

So I thought:

1) Can I pay someone to browse for me?

2) Can I point an AI at the link to get the info for her? Or will it get blocked? Can the AI take the danger in a sandbox while I do the captchas?

What a dystopian mess.
