2025-03-03 JohnHaxx This works great and I highly recommend it. my only minor complaint is that it would be great if I could disable it for a specific site. I pay NYT so I don't have to sidestep them. I took a peak inside the .xpi to see if it was as simple as deleting a few lines, but I don't really know my way around js and just ended up corrupting it lol
2025-02-22 RaceFPV Adds an attempt to track you via top-fwz1.mail.ru . After removing this add-on and then going to the sites mentioned the tracker is not present, so it is clearly inserted as part of this add-on.

2024-12-18 Nick DeMarco Makes the process of viewing paywalled content from the listed sites effortless. Expect a small delay of a few seconds normally, but you'll see the content.
