### 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.
When coming across a paywall click the cookie icon to remove the cookies then refresh the page.
_*May not always succeed_
### 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.

### Troubleshooting
2019-04-28 12:41:29 -07:00
* This extension works best alongside [uBlock Origin ](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm ).
2019-05-12 22:27:15 -07:00
* If a site doesn't work try turning off uBlock and refreshing.
2019-06-30 16:32:17 -07:00
* Make sure the site is checked under Options (on macOS sometimes the sites are unselected).
