- (2023-09-29) FaviFake: Here's a better extension but free: a bookmarklet will help using 12ft.io easier than using an extension, just create a bookmarklet with the following as the URL: javascript:window.location="https://12ft.io/proxy?q="+encodeURIComponent(window.location) Voila, when you hit a paywall, just click this bookmarklet and it will reload the current page using 12ft.io
- (2023-01-22) Spencer R: Wants money to remove a paywall. What a joke. Use the bookmarklet, not this grifter garbage.

- (2022-06-09) Ilkin Jamalli: It says use license and buy it here. But when you visit purchase website it says This product is not currently for sale.
- (2022-06-09) Corvus Campbell: I love 12ft & figured the 12 bucks/year was a pretty small price considering how much i use it, but the extension hasn't taken down a paywall for me even once - i still have to do it manually. i don't mind doing it manually, but i do mind that i payed for something that doesn't work:/

- (2022-02-08) William Weber: The creators of 12ft.io make their website free and open access for everyone. I want to support that! They market this "pro" extension as an optional add-on to help them pay for bandwidth on the free site. It would be great to pay the content creators, but the vast number of paywall websites makes it unreasonable to get subscriptions everywhere and 12ft.io supports accessibility to those without financial means.
- (2021-12-13) Bryce Springfield: The idea is great and 12ft.io can often be very helpful. But it makes no sense for a service meant to avoid paywalls to itself have a paywall through this extension. Can't there just be provided a donation link on the website or some other way for 12ft to make money?
- (2021-11-10) Gabriel Locke-Caron: Doesn't work.
- (2021-10-25) Michael J Kleiman: They require $12 a year to use this extension, for the privilege of bypassing subscription fees to other sites. The moral aspect is debatable if the extension is free, but charging for it is just repugnant. If you're going to pay something, at least give the money to the people creating the content.
- (2021-10-21) Alex S: Regular 12ft (https://12ft.io/) or Bypass Paywalls This looks more like a scam than anything else
- (2021-10-11) `: A subscription fee for a URL redirect to bypass paywalls is pretty low on the moral scale. If you're going to pay to access internet content, at least pay the creators. +1
