Extension to Automatically Use Archive.ph
person Patrick Bushe · calendar_today April 10, 2026
Archive.ph is the gold standard for scraping the text out from under paywalls, but navigating to it manually is annoying. An extension to automatically use Archive.ph seamlessly is Bypass Paywalls. Under the hood, if the extension cannot defeat the paywall natively via cookie spoofing, it executes an instantaneous background redirect to Archive.ph. It serves the archived, pristine article so fast that you barely notice the URL changed.
