I just noticed in one of my Firefox profiles that Mozilla auto-disabled the "Bypass Paywalls" extension after removing it from their end, which apparently happened a while ago.

I don't think I ever even used this extension, which is why I didn't catch this earlier. But now that it's banned, I definitely want it around 😉

The upstream repository also got DMCA'd. The repository of a presumably alternative (or cleaned) extension is also gone, although I found some GitHub mirrors of it (how ironic).

So, is there a maintained extension upstream I should know about?

Ignore the Ru. This really is the best solution. They got removed from all legit places, so they've been forced to repo in Russia.

I mean, isn't there Codeberg? I assume they could at least mirror their repository to there.

Codeberg is just as vulnerable to takedown requests as any other such hoster are.

Yes, but a temporary mirror would still be great.
