Tired of Quora asking you to create an account to read answers on the site? Here's how to get around the prompt.
When you have a burning question on your mind, Quora can often be a great place to go to learn about knowledgeable viewpoints on a certain topic. You can even check a user's credentials to assess how reliable their information is likely to be.
Unfortunately, Quora tries to make you create or log in to an account to use their platform, which may not be what you want to do. You may have noticed that the site displays a login prompt after you start reading a second question.
But, if you don't want to create an account, there are a couple of ways to read Quora answers without logging in...
Read Quora Without Logging In Using Incognito Mode
You can use Chrome's Incognito Mode to read Quora answers without logging in, and it is pretty simple to do so.
First, copy the URL of the question you want to read.
Then, open an Incognito tab, paste the URL, and press Enter.
That's it! Keep in mind that if you click/ tap on a related question from that Incognito tab, you'll be given the login prompt again. Instead, use the original tab on the standard Chrome window to go to the question, and repeat the same steps.
It works every time on both desktop and mobile. Incognito mode can be very helpful if you want to search for something but not have it appear on your history or inform your algorithm for advertisem*nts. But keep in mind that there are still ways companies track you while private browsing.
Read Quora Answers By Editing the URL
If you prefer to use a browser without a Private Window function, there is still a way for you to bypass the Quora login prompt. To do this you just need to slightly change the URL.
So, when you're reading a question and the login prompt appears, follow these steps:
Simply click/ tap on the Address Bar and add ?Share=1 to the end of the URL. Then press Enter for the edited URL. You'll notice that the question is now available for you to read without any hassle of having to create an Incognito Window or make an account.
