Bypass Paywalls Clean will let you read them, as an alternative to hiding. I think you have to manually install it but it will auto-update after that.

Will the extension be updated to use Manifest V3? If it isn't, it seems that compatibility with Chrome might not last much longer, unfortunately.

Edit: Was just asking as I recently installed the extension and Chrome complains that it uses Manifest V2. While Firefox is better than Chrome for lots of reasons, until I make the switch I was just wondering if the extension would keep working given that the alternative 12 foot ladder isn't tall enough for several paywalls...

It may let you read some sites, but it has never worked for me. I constantly run in to paywalls despite using this.

Do you have any examples? I have never seen a paywall while using this. They have a list of supported sites, though I'm not sure if all of them are guaranteed to work 24/7 or if they need frequent updates.

Basically all the large national news sites where I live are unaffected by this filter. This article for example has a paywall when i visit.
