Get rid of paywalls on news sites. Works for 90% of the internet.

[boogers]

Tired of this shyt?

Me too. Lets bust on these bytches.

(EDIT: removed git instructions. not necessary)

You can download the .zip file from GitLab here: Bypass Paywalls Clean - GitLab

Now that you have the Extension downloaded to your hard drive, you can install it manually. Open the Extensions window in Chrome (chrome://extensions) and make sure the "Developer Mode" switch on the top right is active:

Just drag the entire folder into the Chrome window to install:

In a few seconds, a couple tabs will pop open in Chrome. For the sites list, make sure ALL the boxes are checked:

You'll want to enable custom sites as well as import the JSON from GitLab. Chrome will ask for more permissions. Allow them:

Now import the JSON:

And you're all set. This should kill 90% of the paywalls online. Works great on damn near every site I've tested it on. It will ask for updated permissions pretty regularly, because the creator is constantly adding new sites.

Information should be free.

There's two ways to do this: the easiest way is to use Git. Git is a program, available for all OSes, that simplifies fetching remote directories of source code to be edited and compiled. We're not going to compile anything today, but we can use Git to fetch the directory for our Chrome extension, or we can download a .zip file.

In your Terminal, cd to wherever you wanna keep our Extension. You don't want to delete this folder, so put it somewhere safe. Now run the following command:

[EDIT: the forum ate the URL. but if you use Git you already know how to clone anyway.]

If you dont have Git, you can download the .zip file from GitLab here: Bypass Paywalls Clean - GitLab

I've used this method for quite some time. I can vouch for it. It does work fairly well. Where you really run into issues is with websites for local papers and stuff like that. But for the mainstream stuff it works.

I'm not gonna do this. I typically try pasting the URL into outline.com.

otherwise, I say fukk it and get my content elsewhere.

a lot of times for local news sites you can just toggle off JavaScript. it usually works.

What is outline.com? I went to the page but it looks like it's under construction.

there are a few sites out there you can paste a paywalled URL into and i'll unlock it for you... archive.is is a popular one too. try googling for 'paywall remover'

honestly my guide just requires you to download a zip file, unzip it, and drag the folder into chrome, then click a few checkboxes. i just added a ton of pics so i wouldnt have to keep coming back and bumping the thread with detailed instructions.

btw if you do follow my guide, make sure you dont delete the bypass-paywalls-clean folder from your hard drive! it will remove the extension

Yeah I'm aware of the paywall blocker that you posted. I'd been using it for a while. It just never dawned on me that there was a site where you could paste the url and get by the paywall. But the site that beaniemac posted didn't look like a working site outright. That's why I asked about it.

Can someone get past the paywall of the following article?

Robinhood’s Biggest IPO Winners

When Robinhood was raising its early funding rounds, co-founder Baiju Bhatt kept a journal. In it were pages filled with the names of over 100 investors, most of them accompanied by an “X” mark to indicate they had passed on the investment, said an early investor who saw the journal. Those who ...
