PaywallHub: Unified Access to Paywall Bypass Tools

"PaywallHub" is a Chrome extension that simplifies the process of accessing paywalled content. By bringing together a selection of paywall bypassing tools such as Internet Archives, 12ft.io, and Google Cache, it offers users a legal avenue to view archived articles. It's cost-free, respects user privacy by not collecting data, and is part of an open source initiative. PaywallHub doesn't interfere directly with source paywalls, ensuring compliance and ease of use.
