On: Browser Extension to Bypass Media Sites Paywalls

[rickreynoldssf]

Why isn't this in the Chrome store? There's other extensions that integrate with 12ft.io in the Chrome store (e.g. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/12ft-free/ljgfopbn...) so there's no rules against this kind of thing.

So I wonder what this extension in particular is doing that Google wouldn't approve of.

...also 12ft.io already does this for almost every paywalled site.

12ft.io has a very low success rate for anything I’ve tried.

Yeah it's a bit of a one trick pony as the dev explains on the home page, and that trick has long been patched by most sites.

Afaik there's issues on GitHub talking about both Chrome and Mozilla addon stores. I think the add-ons used to be split by browser so might be in an older repo issues

I believe 12ft.io's extension has an opt-out, so many popular sites are blocked from its functionality.
