Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I am using it. I found it very suspicious it is hosted on a Russian website at first. However because of copyright violations the author couldn't leave the extension on a server the US/EU can access.
The extension clearly states which websites it is accessing and you can look through the whole list. I did that a while ago and found nothing suspicious. I trust the author, but you can never know for sure.
Ah great, thanks!
Copyright violations for a browser extension that simply bypasses paywalls? Sound fishy as tools like Ublock Origin can do the same and have been well known for years and faced no takedown requests.
Bypass Paywall Clean was the defacto standard for bypassing paywall until it got taken down. It can reliably bypass the paywalls of hundreds of different international news agencies. If you can achieve that with a UBlock script I will be very happy if you could share it.
