Thanks! That worked out of the box
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.
Oh OK, thanks for the clarification. I'll try to enable the option you suggest. Thanks for the tip!
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?
Install uBlock Origin (everyone should already have this installed anyway), click on the gears (you'll see "Open the Dashboard" as you hover over the gears), go to the bottom of the "Filters lists" tab to the "Custom" area, there should be a box you can check for "Bypass Paywalls Clean filter."
I believe this is the same filter that "@free" posted elsewhere in this thread from Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters. I can't recall for sure if it was already installed in uBlock, or if it was something that I added on my own to uBlock from Gitlab, but I believe it's already there.
Ah thanks, now I understand the other message I read about uBlock. I tried disabling uBlock for that particular website to get the Bypass Paywall add-on to work but it never did. Someone suggested to install Bypass Paywall Clean d, and that worked out of the box
If you don't have it, install uBlock Origin. Uninstall any other adblocker. If you don't trust me, do your own research, but uBlock is the only one you need. Do not disable it on a website, unless you're having a major problem on an important website (like banking, something you need to access, but I've rarely had that problem). You just need to look where I mentioned and enable the filter. I believe it should already be there, you just need to enable it. I don't have any other "ByPass Paywall" add-on extensions and I view, but don't pay for, all sorts of different websites, without paying for them or logging in.
I do have uBlock origin installed. I wouldn't get anywhere near the Internet without it (haven't seen an add in years). But I really aware of the possibility of using uBlock for Paywall bypassing. Thanks for the tip!
It's not included by default, so thanks a lot for the tip! Installed!
Thanks for confirming that. I must have installed it myself then. Glad it worked. Updates I believe are automatically handled by uBlock. I've never done anything with it since installing it and it just works.
12ft.io and/or archive.is/archive.today/... are worth trying in such cases (assuming you already have the latest version of the current ByPass addon, see the other comment).
what version of bypass paywall do you use? im using bypass paywall clean and its working like a charm for me
I was using the regular Bypass Paywall, but people in this thread recommended Bypass Paywall Clean d, and that indeed worked out of the box
