As the title says. I am using the ByPass Paywall add-on and it used to work, but since some time it just doesn't. I've made sure the site I am trying to visit is listed in the list of sites, and I've also manually added it, but to no avail. Does anyone know any good alternatives to bypass paywalls, or some way of troubleshooting the add-on?

Install uBlock Origin (everyone should already have this installed anyway), click on the gears (you'll see "Open the Dashboard" as you hover over the gears), go to the bottom of the "Filters lists" tab to the "Custom" area, there should be a box you can check for "Bypass Paywalls Clean filter."

I believe this is the same filter that "@free" posted elsewhere in this thread from Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters. I can't recall for sure if it was already installed in uBlock, or if it was something that I added on my own to uBlock from Gitlab, but I believe it's already there.

It's not included by default, so thanks a lot for the tip! Installed!

Thanks for confirming that. I must have installed it myself then. Glad it worked. Updates I believe are automatically handled by uBlock. I've never done anything with it since installing it and it just works.
