- Firefox users need two browser add-ons for that: the first, RefControl, to change the referrer value when visiting news sites, the second, User Agent Switcher, to change the user agent of the browser.
Download and install both extensions in the Firefox web browser. Tap on the Alt-key, and select Tools > RefControl Options.
Click on "add site", enter a domain name under site, select custom action, and enter https://www.google.com/ as the referrer.
Repeat this for all news sites you want to access (some may not work even if you make the changes, so keep that in mind).
When you are done, close the configuration window.
Tap on the Alt-key again, and select Tools > Default User Agent > Edit User Agents from the menu.
Select New > User Agent, and replace the string in the User Agent field with Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html). Name it Googlebot.
Exit the menu.
Before you access these sites, tap on Alt, and select Default User Agent > Googlebot.
