Summary
Analyze keywords

This extension will help you stop being bothered by annoying PayWall articles.

Paywall Blocker achieves this by hiding the most commonly referred to as Plus articles on the overview pages. In the current version, the visibility of these articles is lowered and when you move the mouse over the article, it is displayed again and you can view and handle it normally like any other article.

Paywall Blocker supports the largest German online magazines, newspapers and news sites.

Funktioniert super, wäre nur schön wenn es eine Einstellung gäbe mit der man Artikel komplett ausblenden könnte, nicht nur überdecken.

Funktioniert erstaunlich gut. Es wäre aber noch schöner, wenn die Paywall-Artikel nicht nur verblasst dargestellt würden, sondern komplett verschwänden.

Absolutely useless, didn't work for New York Times website.
