Installation

This extension is not available on the Google Chrome Web Store.

The following instructions are needed to install third-party extensions in Chromium-based desktop browsers.

In extension developer mode you can always install BPC by Load unpacked (latest master, but no automatic updates) or by crx-file (latest release & automatic updates, but possibly you have to add the extension to the allowlist).

You can add/pin the extension icon to the toolbar with the toolbar extensions menu (jigsaw puzzle shaped icon).

Load unpacked: Chrome, MS Edge or Brave (all desktop)

* or add extension to allowlist and install automatically updating crx-file (see next section)

Download this repository as a zip-file from GitFlic

Unzip the file and you should have a folder named bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean-master

Move the folder to a permanent location on your computer (do not delete the folder after installation).

Go to the extensions page: chrome://extensions

Enable Developer Mode.

Click Load unpacked and select/open the extension folder (contains file manifest.json).

* By default BPC has limited host permissions, but you can opt-in to enable custom sites (and also clear cookies/block general paywall-scripts for unlisted sites). You can also just request host permissions for the custom sites you added yourself (or clear cookies (BPC-icon) to ask for host permission for current site).

CRX-file: other Chromium browsers (Opera/Vivaldi/Yandex)

* or add extension to allowlist for Chrome, MS Edge or Brave (see instructions local or online)

Download the latest release as crx-file from GitFlic

In your browser go to the extensions page: chrome://extensions

Enable Developer Mode.

Drag your crx-file anywhere on the page to import it (when you have an active ‘load unpacked’ installation, first remove it (and backup your custom sites); for automatic updates).

* By default BPC has limited permissions, but you can opt-in to enable custom sites (and also clear cookies/block general paywall-scripts for unlisted sites). You can also just request host permissions for the custom sites you added yourself (or clear cookies (BPC-icon) to ask for host permission for current site).

Update

For crx-installation: extension will update automatically or check for updates (in chrome://extensions).

Extension may be disabled (in Chrome/Edge) when extension needs new host permissions for added domains: opt-in/opt-out to custom sites once to disable this ‘error’ (browser will remember granted host permissions).

For zip-installation (load unpacked/developer mode): unzip files to installation folder (& reload extension).

You can also check for (post-release) updates of site rules at startup (opt-in); only available until about 10 days after fix-release.

For new (updated) sites you also have to opt-in to custom sites/request host permissions for new domains (or wait for new release).

Android

Install Quetta Browser from the Google PlayStore. You have two options:

load the latest release as crx-file from GitFlic (auto-updating, no allowlist needed)

install latest master zip-file (no automatic updates, for custom sites use manifest.json from custom folder).

* for custom sites use android-custom crx-file (no grant of host permissions on Android).

* Quetta Browser may disable the extension on update (of host permissions): re-enable it or install the android-custom crx-file.

* Kiwi Browser is officially abandoned, but this extension will still be updated.

* Lemur Browser and Edge Canary for Android are still quite buggy (extension not (fully) supported).

Firefox

Visit the Firefox repository on GitFlic of Bypass Paywalls Clean.

Or install latest release as xpi-file from GitFlic

iOS/iPadOS

Use adblocker with custom (content)filter & userscript (manager): Bypass Paywalls Clean filters (read instructions).

Although Orion Browser supports installing this extension, it won’t work for a lot of sites (no full support of WebExtensions API on iOS/iPadOS).

Troubleshooting

If a site doesn’t work, first try to turn off your adblocker (or other extension) and refresh page.

Make sure the (new) site is checked under Options (or not in no-fix list when you search the domain).

Clear cookies by extension’s icon (popup) and grant host permission for site (or opt-in to custom sites)
