This Chrome extension, originally designed to redirect users to the now-defunct 12ft.io for bypassing paywalls, now redirects to its successor, 1ft.io. The extension's developer emphasizes its free nature, contrasting it with a paid alternative that offers similar functionality.
The extension allows users to access paywalled content by clicking its icon on a paywalled page or by using the right-click context menu to open a link in a new tab. This simple functionality is a direct link to 1ft.io.
The developer claims to have created the extension in under 10 minutes, highlighting its straightforward design. They also explicitly state that they are not affiliated with either 12ft.io or 1ft.io; they only developed the extension.
Who pays $12 a year for a Chrome extension that just redirects you to another site? Not you!
Someone's charging $12 a year to redirect you to 12ft.io That's just silly. I wrote this in 4 minutes (I counted) and then a month later I added a context menu in 5 minutes (I counted that too). It's free. Enjoy Comrades. Just click the 12ft Icon when you're on a paywalled page to jump over to 12ft.io and read the content or you can open a link from the right-click menu in 12ft.io in a new tab. NOTE: It seems that the 12ft.io service is no more. Some cool person replicated the service as 1ft.io and this extension now uses that. Pour one out for 12ft.io. :( The name of this extension will remain the same as a memorial to the OG. OLD NOTE: I am not the developer or maintainer of 12ft.io or 1ft.io (the service). I don't know who is, there's no information available about the actual owner/maintainer. I am only the author of this very simple Chrome extension that redirects to that service.
