Resumen de la reseña

Users commonly praise Surmount for easily bypassing paywalls on its supported sites and for being simple and fast. Repeated complaints are inconsistent behavior (broken links or failures), CAPTCHA/reCAPTCHA problems on some publishers, limited site coverage, and lack of a per‑site disable option (e.g., to exclude NYT or its games). Overall reactions are positive when it works but reliability and scope are the main issues.
Ventajas
  • Effectively bypasses paywalls for many supported sites — several users call it a life‑saver and say it works reliably.
  • Simple and easy to use; usually fast with only a small delay before content appears.
  • Multiple users report it works for the New York Times (though results are mixed across reviewers).
Contras
  • Inconsistent reliability — some users get broken URLs or the extension simply doesn’t work on certain pages/sites.
  • Triggers CAPTCHAs or fails to load content on sites like WSJ and Washington Post for some users.
  • Limited site coverage — supports a small set of sites so many paywalls remain unsupported.
  • No per‑site disable/exclusion option (users want to opt out for sites or NYT games).

2025-05-24 Fi***** Generally extensions are not restricted to specific sites but this one is. However, the developer readily discloses this and the 9 it supports are likely among the most desired. Perhaps a better name would be Surmount (Paywalls-limited).

2025-03-03 Jo***** This works great and I highly recommend it. my only minor complaint is that it would be great if I could disable it for a specific site. I pay NYT so I don't have to sidestep them. I took a peak inside the .xpi to see if it was as simple as deleting a few lines, but I don't really know my way around js and just ended up corrupting it lol
