A computer-implemented method is provided to prevent user tracking of a user device by an operator associated with a paywalled content site by a) receiving, at an intermediary site a request for a URL associate with a paywalled content site, b) forwarding the URL to a virtual machine; c) requesting, by the virtual machine, paywalled content using the URL and using credentials for the paywalled content; d) receiving the paywalled content at the virtual machine; e) rendering the paywalled content as an image frame in a frame buffer; f) creating a video stream or image based on the frame buffer; and g) displaying the video stream or the image at the user device.

Method, system, program, and medium for access to paywalled site without user tracking

Methods for rapid micro-payment transactions with deferred payments employ a network-connected AR device ('HMD') having sensors for detecting a user's gaze/physical commands. Such methods comprise: receiving information from the HMD indicating a selected real-world/virtual content item for a potential transaction; causing the HMD to display a virtual transaction management widget (“TMW”) showing the selected item's cost, maximum threshold amount before triggering settlement; and any prior unsettled payment obligations; receiving further information from the HMD confirming the potential transaction based on the user's gaze/physical command; transmitting an authorization signal to a merchant offering the selected item without concurrently requiring payment when the selected item's cost and prior unsettled payment are less than the maximum threshold amount; and transmitting a signal to a payment system for settlement of the balance when the selected item's cost and any unsettled payment are equal/greater than the maximum threshold; and updating the displayed TMW accordingly.
