Bypass Paywalls

Bypass Paywalls is a web browser extension to help bypass paywalls for selected sites.

This is a fork from the bypass paywalls extention for chrome and firefox, to use with tampermonkey. The script included can be used in tampermonkey to have almost the same functionality.

You can add it quick to tampermonkey via this link: Add to Tampermonkey

The free article limit can normally be bypassed by removing cookies for the site.*

Install the Cookie Remover extension for Google Chrome or for Mozilla Firefox. Please rate it 5 stars if you find it useful.

When coming across a paywall click the cookie icon to remove the cookies then refresh the page.

*May not always succeed

Only large or major sites will be considered. Usually premium articles cannot be bypassed as they are behind a hard paywall.

Install the uBlock Origin extension if it hasn't been installed already. See if you are still getting a paywall.
Check if using Cookie Remover (Google Chrome version or Mozilla Firefox version) can bypass the paywall. If not, continue to the next step.
First search Issues to see if the site has been requested already.
Visit an article on the site you want to bypass the paywall for and copy the article title.
Open up a new incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+N on Chrome) or Private window (Ctrl+Shift+P on Firefox), and paste the article title into Google.
Click on the same article from the Google search results page.
If it loads without a paywall you can submit a request and replace the entire template text with the word "Confirmed". Otherwise please do not submit an issue as this extension cannot bypass it either.

This extension works best alongside uBlock Origin for Google Chrome or for Mozilla Firefox.
If a site doesn't work, try turning off uBlock and refreshing.
Try clearing cookies.
Make sure you're running the latest version of Bypass Paywalls.
If a site is having problems try unchecking "*General Paywall Bypass*" in Options.
If none of these work, you can submit an issue here.
