### New site requests:
2019-04-06 13:31:12 -07:00
Only large or major sites will be considered.
2018-12-16 13:57:09 -08:00
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.
2019-03-11 11:28:11 -07:00
3. Click on the same article from the Google search results page. If it loads without a paywall you can [submit a request ](https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/issues/new ) to add the site, otherwise my extension cannot bypass it either.
2018-12-16 13:57:09 -08:00
2019-04-06 13:31:12 -07:00
Usually premium articles cannot be bypassed as they are behind a hard paywall.
