Features & Capabilities

Freedium is a Chrome extension designed for Medium.com readers tired of encountering paywall-restricted articles. Instead of bypassing Medium’s paywalls, Freedium removes all premium, member-only articles from your homepage feed, allowing you to enjoy free content without the frustration of clicking into inaccessible posts.

Once installed, Freedium scans your Medium homepage and filters out paid articles before you see them. This approach helps you avoid the disappointment of hitting a paywall. While Freedium slightly affects the loading speed of articles, it offers a smooth and paywall-free reading experience. Activation is straightforward with a toggle button in the extension's interface.

If you prefer a hassle-free browsing experience on Medium without member-only distractions, Freedium is an effective and privacy-friendly solution.

Is Freedium Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Freedium requires very minimum permissions.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
