What is Read Medium for free?
Read Medium for free is a Chrome extension that allows you to read Medium articles without leaving the page, even if you have reached the free reading limit. It fetches the article without cookies and replaces the page content, mimicking the experience of opening an article in incognito mode. The extension only runs when you have hit the reading limit and does not make any requests outside of Medium.
