A very easy guide to bypassing paywalls (pirating news) (mbin.potato-guy.space)

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.

your link is a little broken, my friend!

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.xpi vs bypass_paywalls_clean-4.1.4.0.xpi releases? 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.
