Joke

Rafael Alves, 2024-03-04

Here's a better extension but free: a bookmarklet will help using 12ft.io easier than using an extension, just create a bookmarklet with the following as the URL: javascript:window.location="https://12ft.io/proxy?q="+encodeURIComponent(window.location) Voila, when you hit a paywall, just click this bookmarklet and it will reload the current page using 12ft.io

Wants money to remove a paywall. What a joke. Use the bookmarklet, not this grifter garbage.
