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 extension.
When coming across a paywall click the cookie icon to remove the cookies then refresh the page.
*May not always succeed
New site requests
Only large or major sites will be considered.
- Visit an article on the site you want to bypass the paywall for and copy the article title.
- Open up a new incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+N) and paste the article title into Google.
- Click on the same article from the Google search results page. If it loads without a paywall you can submit a request to add the site, otherwise my extension cannot bypass it either.
Usually premium articles cannot be bypassed as they are behind a hard paywall.
Troubleshooting
- This extension works best alongside uBlock Origin.
- If a site doesn't work try turning off uBlock and refreshing.
- Make sure the site is checked under Options (on macOS sometimes the sites are unselected).
Pull Requesets
- PRs are welcome.
Show your support
- I am not asking for donations or anything like that, all I ask is that you star this repo.
