Key requirements include compatibility with both Chrome and Firefox, ability to bypass both soft and hard paywalls, open-source and privacy-focused nature, and regular maintenance. The post concludes with a promise to compile a list of working alternatives based on community responses.
Hey fellow Redditors,
Long-time lurker here, but I really need your help. As many of you probably know, Bypass Paywall Clean was recently removed from both Chrome and Firefox stores, and I'm desperately looking for alternatives. I used to rely on it heavily for accessing news sites and research articles.
What I'm looking for:
Extensions that work on both Chrome and Firefox
Capable of bypassing both soft and hard paywalls
Preferably open-source and privacy-focused
Regularly maintained
What I've tried so far:
Archive.is - Works sometimes, but not ideal for daily use
Incognito mode - Hit or miss, mostly miss these days
12ft.io - Getting blocked by more sites
Has anyone found a reliable alternative? What are you using now? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Thanks for all the responses! I'll compile a list of working solutions in this post as they come in.
