This extension is not available on the Google Chrome Web Store.
The following instructions are needed to install third-party extensions in Chromium-based desktop browsers.
In extension developer mode you can always install BPC by Load unpacked (latest master, but no automatic updates) or by crx-file (latest release & automatic updates, but possibly you have to add the extension to the allowlist).
You can add/pin the extension icon to the toolbar with the toolbar extensions menu (jigsaw puzzle shaped icon).
- or add extension to allowlist and install automatically updating crx-file (see next section)
- Download this repository as a zip-file from GitFlic.
- Unzip the file and you should have a folder named
bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean-master - Move the folder to a permanent location on your computer (do not delete the folder after installation).
- Go to the extensions page:
chrome://extensions - Enable Developer Mode.
- Click
Load unpackedand select/open the extension folder (contains file manifest.json).
- By default BPC has limited host permissions, but you can opt-in to enable custom sites (and also clear cookies/block general paywall-scripts for unlisted sites). You can also just request host permissions for the custom sites you added yourself (or clear cookies (BPC-icon) to ask for host permission for current site).
- Download the extension as a crx-file from GitFlic (right-click > save link as).
- In your browser go to the extensions page:
chrome://extensions - Enable Developer Mode.
- Drag your crx-file anywhere on the page to import it (when you have an active 'load unpacked' installation, first remove it (and backup your custom sites); for automatic updates).
- By default BPC has limited permissions, but you can opt-in to enable custom sites (and also clear cookies/block general paywall-scripts for unlisted sites). You can also just request host permissions for the custom sites you added yourself (or clear cookies (BPC-icon) to ask for host permission for current site).
For crx-installation: extension will update automatically or check for updates (in chrome://extensions).
Extension may be disabled (in Chrome/Edge) when extension needs new host permissions for added domains: opt-in/opt-out to custom sites once to disable this 'error' (browser will remember granted host permissions).
For zip-installation (load unpacked/developer mode): unzip files to installation folder.
You can also check for (post-release) updates of site rules at startup (opt-in); only available until about 10 days after fix-release.
For new (updated) sites you also have to opt-in to custom sites/request host permissions for new domains (or wait for new release).
- Install Kiwi Browser from the Google PlayStore.
- You have two options:
- load the CRX-file in releases (auto-updating, no allowlist needed, opt-in for custom sites not working (use kiwi-custom crx; updates to latest regular version)
- install latest master zip-file (no automatic updates, for custom sites use manifest.json from custom folder).
Visit the Firefox repository on GitHub of Bypass Paywalls Clean.
Or install xpi-file from GitFlic
Use adblocker with custom (content)filter & userscript (manager): https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters (read instructions).
Although Orion Browser supports installing this extension, it won't work for a lot of sites (no full support of WebExtensions API on iOS/iPadOS).
- If a site doesn't work, first try to turn off your adblocker (or other extension) and refresh page.
- Make sure the (new) site is checked under Options.
- Clear cookies by extension's icon (popup) and grant host permission for site (or opt-in to custom sites)
- You will be logged out for some of the sites you have enabled.
- Make sure you're running the latest version of Bypass Paywalls Clean.
- Some sites need to redirect to an amp-page (this may cause a redirect-loop by an amp-to-html extension or browser setting like in Kiwi Browser (Android) > Settings > Privacy and security > Remove AMP).
- If none of these work, you can submit an issue on GitHub or only when GitHub repo is offline use X (DM).
- Always provide used extension version, paywalled article (url) and describe issue in detail.
- This extension works best alongside the adblocker uBlock Origin.
- If you live in the EU, also consider adding these filters to your adblocker (in order to remove cookie warnings): Easylist Cookies | I don't care about cookies custom filter. Some sites need to set a consent-cookie for (social) media.
