I saw some people having trouble with this, so here’s my simple guide.
Using Bypass paywalls clean as an extension for your browser, the .xpi file for firefox based browsers or the .crx file for chromium based browsers.
Sometimes, disabling javascript works too, mainly with the “disabling copying” from some news sources or javascript based paywalls.
That’s it! I hope this is useful.
Hmm sounded promising, tried lt through firefox on Android, on a site that was listed but did not work 😢
What website was it?
But I agree that some websites might need adjustments.
your link is a little broken, my friend!
https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bpc_uploads
Also to anyone wondering, this project isn’t on some random Russian website for no reason at all.
It was chased off the Firefox add-ons/extensions page with DMCA claims, it was chased off Gitlab with DMCA claims, and it was chased off Github with DMCA claims.
It literally cannot survive on US corporate servers because it will get taken down again and again for DMCA violations.
Does anyone know what’s the difference between the
bypass_paywalls_clean-4.1.4.0-custom.xpivsbypass_paywalls_clean-4.1.4.0.xpireleases? I can’t find anything on the info page.By default BPC has limited host permissions, but you can opt-in to enable custom sites (and also clear cookies/block general paywall-scripts for unlisted sites). Or just request host permissions for the custom sites you’ve added yourself (or click clear cookies (BPC-icon) to ask for host permission for current site).
You can also install the custom add-on version (with host permissions for all sites).
From the addon page.
Missed that one, cheers!
Forgot the https:// on the link, fixed
Thanks for the heads up!
You can also enter the title of the news article in the url bar to see if another site copied the text
This is the way.
and if that doesn’t work there’s also archive.is :)
- archive.today
- archive.fo
- archive.is
- archive.li
- archive.md
- archive.ph
- archive.vn
You can’t archive on those sites with a VPN on.
But they’re also not necessarily trustworthy anymore.
http://removepaywalls.com/ uses them along with periscope and others (use the numbers at top of the page)
Thanks for this, I have it on Firefox but it never really worked, but I got it using the Firefox/GitHub link. Now i know why it doesn’t work.
