Features & Capabilities

Nodium is a Chrome extension designed to help users bypass the Medium paywall with ease. It automatically detects when you visit a Medium-powered site and deletes the tracking cookies set by Medium, allowing you to access restricted articles without interruption. Note that while the extension is active, logging into Medium is disabled, so it's recommended to disable Nodium temporarily if you need to log in.

This extension is a simple and effective tool for readers who want to enjoy premium content on Medium without limitations, enhancing browsing experience and content accessibility.

Is Nodium Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Nodium requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ****** ********* ** * ****** ******** ******** ********** * ******* ******* *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Nodium is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
