Hate paywalls? 12ft.io is the answer

Since I know I'll forget this in 10 minutes... I threw together this bookmarklet to use it as needed.

javascript:void%20function(){location.href=%22http://12ft.io/%22+window.location.href}();

Nice idea! Imma steal this :)

Meh... this is A LOT BETTER:

as soon as you access the page (in Firefox, naturally!) it automatically removes the paywall. It's like it's never been there! You can't even imagine you are crossing a paywall! :)

well... wonderful news. There is also a chrome addon:

Yes I do know about this. I find 12ft more universally useful, as I personally do most of my reading on mobile, and also I like to share 12ft.io-based links to open the articles up for other people.

Unfortunately despite its claim "Bypass any paywall", it doesn't.

Try articles on https://www.nytimes.com and you will get:
