Firefox extension to bypass paywalls

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/removepaywalls-com/

  • one click functionality: click the button and it goes straight thru to the article
  • no big header that hides any text
  • URL cleaning so that it still works even if there are query or utm codes attached
  • views easily on mobile without having to scroll or pinch screen
  • options for alternative ways to bypass if the article didn't work

Would love any feedback on how it could be better!

Te resulting text is so small on my 10" tablet that I can't read it. It's also not possible to zoom in.
