Is there a maintained bypass-paywalls Firefox extension out there? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello.

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?

Yeah, if you want software that's being banned everywhere you've got to get it from someplace that's willing to host it...

Thanks for the research
