Tool to Read Any Paywalled Article Instantly
person Patrick Bushe · calendar_today April 10, 2026
Copying URLs and pasting them into proxy websites is a slow, tedious way to read the news. A tool that lets you read any paywalled article instantly, natively within your own browser, is the Bypass Paywalls extension. It operates on page-load. When it detects a restricted class in the HTML (like a faded gradient over the text), it automatically applies the correct HTTP header spoof, dropping the paywall in milliseconds without you ever leaving the original webpage.
