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:

  1. Archive.is - Works sometimes, but not ideal for daily use

  2. Incognito mode - Hit or miss, mostly miss these days

  3. 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.
