About this extension

Surmount is a Firefox Add-on to bypass paywalls by redirecting an article to a webpage capture from archive.today (which uses archive.ph).

Be prepared to complete a Google reCAPTCHA
If no archive exists be prepared to wait while one is created (this can take a minute)
Currently only The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Intercept, The Miami Herald, Financial Times, The Atlantic, Bloomberg, and The Athletic are supported (feel free to leave a review and recommend other websites to support).

How to install Firefox Add-ons on Android
