### Installation instructions
Due to [Google internal policy](https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/program_policies), the extension is not available on the Chrome Web Store. The following instructions are needed to install third-party extensions in [Chromium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser))-based browsers:
#### Chrome (Windows, MacOS, Linux), Microsoft Edge (version 79)
1. Download this repo as a [ZIP file from GitHub](https://github.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/archive/master.zip).
2. Unzip the file and you should have a folder named `bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean-master`.
3. Move the folder to a permanent location on your computer (do not delete the folder after installation).
4. Go to the extensions page (`chrome://extensions` or `edge://extensions`).
5. Enable Developer Mode.
6. Click `Load unpacked` and select the extension folder.

#### Android
1. Install [Yandex Browser](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yandex.browser&hl=en) from the Google PlayStore (Bypass Paywalls Clean doesn't work with Kiwi Browser yet).
2. Follow Chrome instructions located just above (step 6: pick `manifest.json` instead of the folder).

#### Other Chromium browsers (Opera/Vivaldi/Yandex/Brave)
1. Download the extension as a .crx file from the [releases page](https://github.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/releases).
2. In your browser go to the extensions page.
3. Enable Developer Mode.
4. Drag your .crx file anywhere on the page to import it.

#### Firefox
Visit the [Firefox repository](https://github.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean) of Bypass Paywall Clean.

**Notes**
* This extension works best alongside the adblocker [uBlock Origin](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en). If you live in the EU, also consider installing the extension [I don't care about cookies
](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/i-dont-care-about-cookies/fihnjjcciajhdojfnbdddfaoknhalnja) in order to remove cookie warnings.
* Do not delete extension's folder from your computer/smartphone or Bypass Paywalls Clean will disappear at restart.
* Every time you open Chrome it may warn you about running extensions in developer mode, just click 🗙 to keep the extension enabled.
* You will be logged out for any site you have checked.
