Bypass Paywalls Clean, a popular browser extension that does exactly what its name suggests, has been shut down along with 3,879 forks.

Why doesn’t BPC just split the functionality of the extension, so that the filter list is a separate entity?

    I’m literally arguing in another thread now about how weird corporations are about this. And here’s a prime example. The company shares their content on the internet freely. A medium where its inherent design is to consume the bits and pieces of the giant mass of data that you are interested in (and ignore the rest).

    But because we choose to not watch the ads, and only the interesting parts (that they published freely) - THAT’S a reason to go after BPC with govt. action? Give me a break. If your content is so good, grow some balls, put it behind a hard paywall, ask me to pay for it, and stop leaving it laying around on the ground for all to view.

    No need to panic. I simply went to my uBlock Origin filter page, and clicked on the “house” icon of the Bypass Paywalls Clean. It redirected me to magnolia1234’s (the filter author) gitflic page that contains a more DMCA-resistant filter link. As this site is hosted in Russia, I don’t think Putin will care to help western newspapers. 😉

    Been using this for a while now. Not an extension, but a good bookmark to have.

    It still works for now and the project will be revived in some way, I’m sure. Nothing to worry about.
