12ft Free

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

What is 12ft 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.

Someone's charging $12 a year to redirect you to 12ft.io That's just silly. I wrote this in 4 minutes (I counted) and then a month later I added a context menu in 5 minutes (I counted that too).

It's free. Enjoy Comrades.

Just click the 12ft Icon when you're on a paywalled page to jump over to 12ft.io and read the content or you can open a link from the right-click menu in 12ft.io in a new tab.

NOTE: It seems that the 12ft.io service is no more. Some cool person replicated the service as 1ft.io and this extension now uses that. Pour one out for 12ft.io. :( The name of this extension will remain the same as a memorial to the OG.

OLD NOTE: I am not the developer or maintainer of 12ft.io or 1ft.io (the service). I don't know who is, there's no information available about the actual owner/maintainer. I am only the author of this very simple Chrome extension that redirects to that service.
