view - Bypass Paywalls

By: wuku
Read any article. Makes paywalled content open for reading. No site breakage, clean minimal design. Remove any paywall. Used to be CastleBlock.

Features & Capabilities

view lets you read articles behind paywalls without breaking websites.

Instead of manipulating page code (which causes site breakage), view opens paywalled content through removepaywall.com — an external service that fetches and displays articles without restrictions.

How it works:

Click the "Read" floating button on paywalled sites

Or right-click any link → "Open without paywall"

Article opens in a new tab via removepaywall.com

No JavaScript injection, no CSS manipulation, zero site breakage

Features:

174 pre-loaded sites — Works immediately on major paywalled publications (NYT, WaPo, WSJ, FT, Economist, Spiegel, FAZ, etc.)

Auto-detection — Automatically shows button when paywall keywords detected

Site list — Add custom sites where button should always appear

Context menu — Right-click links or pages to open without paywall

Clean design — Minimal monochrome UI, no clutter

Blocks ads — Removes specific advertising elements on removepaywall.com

Perfect for:

Reading news articles without subscriptions

Researching topics across multiple publications

Accessing academic and business content

Privacy note: URLs are sent to removepaywall.com to fetch content. No other data is collected.

Key Bullet Points (for store listing) ✅ Zero site breakage — doesn't modify page code

✅ 174 paywalled sites supported out of the box

✅ Floating "Read" button on detected paywalls

✅ Right-click to open any link without paywall

✅ Custom site list management

✅ Minimal monochrome design

✅ Blocks intrusive elements on viewer page

User Reviews

Works exact same as "Remove Paywall" app with same problems. App is 4 links to "archive.is" Most of them don't work, then they put you in an infinite Captcha loop. IT DOESN'T WORK.
