Why doesn't BPC just split the functionality of the extension, so that the filter list is a separate entity?

Tragic, but this functionality can still be done with Ublock origin and/or Noscript extensions

That is the list.

Ublock origin requires Filters that you can select from a provided list, or enter in/download yourself.

Noscript (likely redundant but I don't know how to use Ublock to do this) lets you select which scripts a site runs and disable whichever ones are necessary to clean the page of garbage/reveal the article.

Every page is different and changes so it isn't perfect but once you are familiar with how it works you can 'Pick' blocking boxes to automatically create a filter that removes the box (on reload) if necessary.

Ok, will just keep using archive.is

Until it gets shut down as well. This isn't a great precedent we are walking into
