12ft Free

Who pays $12 a year for a Chrome extension that just redirects you to another site? Not you!

12ft Free - Get Access to Paywalled Content for Free

"12ft Free" is a Chrome extension that lets users easily access paywalled content. Initially designed to redirect to 12ft.io, it now functions with 1ft.io, which replicates the original service. Users can bypass paywalls by clicking on the 12ft icon or using the right-click menu to open links in a new tab. The extension doesn’t cost anything to use. Note that the developer of the extension is not connected with the actual owners or maintainers of 12ft.io or 1ft.io.

User reviews

1ft.io (which is NOT the original site that they proxy) stopped working. Thanks for all the fish and you are welcome for the traffic.
