How to Bypass News Paywalls Legally

Aggressive news paywalls prevent users from accessing important, socially relevant journalism. To bypass news paywalls legally without stealing account credentials, users can leverage browser modifications. The Bypass Paywalls extension works by spoofing your user-agent as a Google search crawler. Since major news sites allow Google's bots free access to index their articles, the extension tricks the server into serving you the un-paywalled HTML, granting you full reading rights securely and legally natively in your browser.
