User reviews
If not immediately obvious, this extension provides access for all sites rather than prompts the user. This is because the codebase of the mobile version of Firefox does not support permission requests when necessary rather than at installation time, per https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean/-/issues/14.
