More websites (specialized or local newspapers) are available in the [custom list](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/master/sites_custom.json) of the extension (select those you want to use in options).

### Sites with limited number of free articles
The free article limit can normally be bypassed by removing cookies for the site.*

Install the [Cookie Remover](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookie-remover/kcgpggonjhmeaejebeoeomdlohicfhce) extension. Please rate it 5 stars if you find it useful.

When coming across a paywall click the cookie icon to remove the cookies then refresh the page.

_*May not always succeed_

### New site requests
You can submit a request for a new website [here](https://github.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/issues/new). Please follow those instructions are share your results for a quicker process. Please remember to check the [previous requests](https://github.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/issues?q=is%3Aissue) before asking for a new website.

1. Visit an article on the site you want to bypass the paywall for and copy the article title.
2. Open up a new incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+N) and paste the article title into Google.
3. Click on the same article from the Google search results page. Or you can:
4. Disable javascript on the website by clicking the button right icon </> on the uBlock panel.

### Troubleshooting
* This extension works best alongside [uBlock Origin](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm).
* If a site doesn't work, try turning off uBlock and refreshing. Also try reinstalling the extension.
* Make sure the site is checked under Options (on macOS sometimes the sites are unselected).
* Make sure you're running the last version of Bypass Paywalls Clean.
