As the title says. I am using the ByPass Paywall add-on and it used to work, but since some time it just doesn’t. I’ve made sure the site I am trying to visit is listed in the list of sites, and I’ve also manually added it, but to no avail. Does anyone know any good alternatives to bypass paywalls, or some way of troubleshooting the add-on?
You may or may not already know this, but I believe this is already included on uBlock Origin, towards the bottom of the “Filter lists” tab, in the “Custom” area.
EDIT: Someone else told me it’s not installed on uBlock by default. I guess I installed it from Gitlab a long time ago and forgot, and that it just shows up in uBlock now.
Wait, I didn’t know that. You’re saying uBlock Origin can also bypass paywalls? :o
EDIT: nevermind I know what you meant now. I tried disabling uBlock for that website but it still didn’t work. Bypass Paywall Clean d did the job
Yes, I believe uBlock Origin already has a bypass paywalls option there, you just need to enable it, check the box. Look for it where I mentioned to find it. I don’t have anything else installed (other than uBlock) and I view all sorts of pay-walled websites, without having to pay or login. If the option isn’t there, install it from the link from me or “@free”.
I wouldn’t disable uBlock Origin, unless a specific website that I need to work is having a problem with it (like my banking website, or one of my usenet websites, etc., something very important to me, and that I trust). It’s very rare that I need to disable uBlock.
To be clear, I’m saying that I don’t think you need to install anything else, because I believe uBlock Origin already has this feature built into it.
Thanks. Did you install this yourself? The readme says to download the xpi file, but there are two available, one version ends with ‘custom’. Do you know what’s the difference?
The readme links to this one. It will automatically update after manual installation.
