It can be really frustrating when you’re searching for information, find a relevant article through Google, and then hit a paywall (The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Financial Times are common culprit, but there are others too). Since I don’t read these publications often, paying for a full subscription just for a few articles per year doesn’t make sense to me. Here’s a trick I use: Visit [https://archive.ph/](https://archive.ph/) or [https://www.removepaywall.com/](https://www.removepaywall.com/) Simply paste the article’s URL into the field with the red box and click “save”. This method works for many sites, though not all. It’s also not the best experience on mobile, so I recommend using it on a laptop for better results.\ * * * # Extras: ## 👉 [Easy Trick to Bypass Paywalls](https://onehack.st/t/easy-trick-to-bypass-paywalls/305761) ---

Solid shout 🙌 — here’s exactly how to use it, step by step, so anyone can follow. 🤖 **The bot → [@articlereaderr\_bot](https://t.me/articlereaderr_bot)** ├─ 1️⃣ Open it — tap the link above, or search `@articlereaderr_bot` in Telegram ├─ 2️⃣ Copy the paywalled article’s URL and **paste it to the bot** ├─ 3️⃣ It sends back the **full article** , unlocked └─ 💾 Bonus: it _keeps_ everything you send, so your articles stay saved to re-read later 🛟 **If a link ever won’t crack, this one’s the reliable backup:** └─ 🗄 **archive.today** → go to [https://archive.ph](https://archive.ph), paste the article URL, open the saved full copy _(also great for grabbing a page before it changes or disappears)_ Between the two, most paywalls don’t stand a chance. Happy reading 📖 ---

How about this? Download the zip file from the release page, and load the extracted folder from the “Load unpacked extension” in the upper left of the Chrome extension page. The first time it will fail, but the second time it should work. > **[Installation - magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean](https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean#installation)** > > online | Участвуйте в разработке magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean, создав учетную запись в GitFlic. > **[magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean](https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean)** > > Участвуйте в разработке magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean, создав учетную запись в GitFlic. ---
