User Reviews
It works flawlessly.
I occasionally read Medium Articles, but not often enough to justify the subscription they charge. This add-on removes that requirement and allows me to read all the articles I need without charging me the subscription fee.
Thank you so much, Valentina for bringing this to us all!

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.
Unlock Medium article requires very minimum permissions.
