The Bypass Paywalls Clean extension for Firefox
The Bypass Paywalls Clean extension for Firefox
This extension is a different one from the 'Bypass Paywalls' one. Earlier, it was available in Firefox add on repos. Now it can be sideloaded. It is available for all major browsers.
Do not kill me, but I was paying for a magazine app, that only yesterday I realized was working flawlessly with this extension despite the site not being a very popular one.
Also, there is a browser based on Firefox, well it's engine Atleast, called 'Smart Cookie Web Preview' on Android that allows side loading of extensions. This allows you to use this extension on Android as well and basically bypass multiple Paywalls on the go.

it's more than a filterlist, also custom code (though the repo you shared has the userscripts that you can install).
I thought the addon had advantages vs simply add a filter list to ubo, or am I wrong?
Addons are loaded to memory, the more addons you use the slower it will behave. There is a security issue too, addons have a lot of permissons, you need to trust them, while filter lists are plain simple text. And last, there are browsers, which allow to add filterlists, but not addons.
It does, it works better and covers more sites, but at the cost of security (increasing attack surface) and using more resources. Pros and cons to both.
this is great, thanks!
Thanks for this, works great for several of my local papers.
Didn't know that, I actually switched to Kiwi Browser because I couldn't get the addon to work in IceRaven. And it's one of those addons I really couldn't live without.
Needs an elaborate by github standards workaround to work on android? I think I'll just continue to avoid sites whose paywalls archive.ph and 12foot can't defeat..
Well, one does need to sideload two apps, a browser and then the corresponding xpi file which will install the add on.
There was/is an alternate way on Firefox Nightly, I think to create a custom add on collection which will add it to mobile Firefox normally. But yes, you are correct, only a miniscule amount of people would care to run it on Android(though it is always nice to have a workaround).
You can add the filter list mentioned in the first comment in this thread in your Ublock origin add on on your mobile version of firefox
I've been using bypass paywalls clean for a while now and it's fantastic. Can confirm I haven't seen any paywalls since installing it.
I'd just use NoScript and disable the domain supplying the script
