About this extension
view lets you read articles behind paywalls without breaking websites.
Instead of manipulating page code (which causes site breakage), view opens paywalled content through removepaywall.com — an external service that fetches and displays articles without restrictions.
How it works:
Click the "Read" floating button on paywalled sites
Or right-click any link → "Open without paywall"
Article opens in a new tab via removepaywall.com
No JavaScript injection, no CSS manipulation, zero site breakage
Features:
174 pre-loaded sites — Works immediately on major paywalled publications (NYT, WaPo, WSJ, FT, Economist, Spiegel, FAZ, etc.)
Auto-detection — Automatically shows button when paywall keywords detected
Site list — Add custom sites where button should always appear
Context menu — Right-click links or pages to open without paywall
Clean design — Minimal monochrome UI, no clutter
Blocks ads — Removes specific advertising elements on removepaywall.com
Perfect for:
Reading news articles without subscriptions
Researching topics across multiple publications
Accessing academic and business content
Privacy note: URLs are sent to removepaywall.com to fetch content. No other data is collected.
Key Bullet Points (for store listing)
✅ Zero site breakage — doesn't modify page code
✅ 174 paywalled sites supported out of the box
✅ Floating "Read" button on detected paywalls
✅ Right-click to open any link without paywall
✅ Custom site list management
