Finance Twitter: Top-8 ways to access blocked websites on Windows, MAC, Android and Apple IOS devices

First of all, I must admit, I first read this in Hussein A. Hamid's blogsite, Steadyaku47. I tried to go direct to Finance Twitter but found out that it is copyrighted and its system does even allow an excerpt from the article. But I find it good for reference, so I cut and paste from Steadyaku, just a small part which I find most easy to follow:

Excerpt:

"{ Option-6 } Enable Chrome Data-Saver (Android Only)
If you’re using Android phone (not iPhone iOS), the solution could be as simple as three steps to access blocked websites. Basically Google Chrome browser has this “Data Saver” feature which enables you to surf a website through Google Proxy which is protected by SSL. This is like changing the DNS settings (Option-A above) but in an easy Step-1-2-3.
To enable Data Saver on Android:
  1. Open Chrome and press the “Action Overflow Button”(three vertical dots) in the upper right corner.
  2. Tap “Settings”. Scrow down and touch “Data Saver”.
  3. On top right switch hit it to “ON”
By turning this feature “ON”, your phone essentially talks to Google Public DNS, not your local ISP DNS. Another reason why you should enable the “Data Saver” is it helps compress and encrypt your data, so you save tons of money on data usage. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t like this “Data Saver” feature for obvious reason; hence it won’t work on iPhone.
For those IT-savvy enough, the rest of the article:
