PayWallBlocker Firefox

PayWallBlocker

PayWall Blocker hides annoying articles, on the overview pages of major German online magazines and newspapers, that are behind a PayWall.

Features & Capabilities

PayWallBlocker is a browser extension designed to enhance your reading experience by hiding annoying paywall-protected articles (commonly referred to as Plus articles) on overview pages of major German online magazines, newspapers, and news sites. With this extension, these articles have reduced visibility by default, but you can easily reveal any article by hovering your mouse over it, allowing normal access and interaction.

Supporting the largest German news platforms, PayWallBlocker helps you browse freely without constant interruptions by paywalled content. For more information, support, or to provide feedback, visit the project's page at codeberg.org/dasistdaniel/PayWallBlocker. PayWallBlocker offers a simple yet effective solution for users seeking uninterrupted news reading in Germany.

Is PayWallBlocker 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.

PayWallBlocker requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

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