Because the Decline button on the consent page redirects to their main https://text.npr.org/ homepage instead of the compliant text version of the desired article, I’ve started using a bookmarklet to manually fix this:

javascript:(function (){var s=location.href.split( '/' );location.href='https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId='+s[s.length-2]})()

E.g. when invoked on https://choice.npr.org/index.html?origin=https://www.npr.org... it redirects to https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=618047447

Probably compatible with Mosaic ;-)

Sometimes I do the exercise of switching to older phones - my favorite Palm Pre 2 or my even older Palm Centro - as an exercise on avoiding distractions of the modern web. It's good to see websites that can easily be used with these.

There's a misconception, however. It is compliant, yes, but you also only get limited access.

See the topics sections, only news, arts & life, and music are available. And only the top articles of those.

All other links redirect you to that text start page.
