## Description

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.
