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-firefox/issues/new) to add the site, otherwise my extension cannot bypass it either.
### Troubleshooting
* This add-on works best along with [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/)
* This add-on works best alongside [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/).
* For The Denver Post turn off uBlock.
* If a site doesn't work try turning off uBlock and refreshing.
