A very easy guide to bypassing paywalls (pirating news)
2026-06-27 07:28 UTC
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.

You can also enter the title of the news article in the url bar to see if another site copied the text

Thanks for this, I have it on Firefox but it never really worked, but I got it using the Firefox/GitHub link. Now i know why it doesn’t work.

You can also use uBlock Origin’s element zapper mode a lot of the times.

Text based CLI browsers also seem to get around it. I’ve been using w3m pretty much solely to read articles behind a paywall.
