Effective and simple. Didn't know that this kind of plug-in could even work! Bravo

Just installed this extension and attempted to read an article on the NYTimes.com website. When I attempted to use this extension? It took me to a page that stated nothing but this: "12ft has been disabled for this site" At this URL: https://12ft.io/proxy?&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2023%2F02%2F12%2Fopinion%2Fjoe-biden-bibi-netanyahu-israel.html
