Who pays $12 a year for a Chrome extension that just redirects you to another site? Not you!

Description from store
Someone's charging $12 a year to redirect you to 12ft.io That's just silly. I wrote this in 4 minutes (I counted) and then a month later I added a context menu in 5 minutes (I counted that too).
It's free. Enjoy Comrades.
Just click the 12ft Icon when you're on a paywalled page to jump over to 12ft.io and read the content or you can open a link from the right-click menu in 12ft.io in a new tab.
NOTE: It seems that the 12ft.io service is no more. Some cool person replicated the service as 1ft.io and this extension now uses that. Pour one out for 12ft.io. :( The name of this extension will remain the same as a memorial to the OG.
OLD NOTE: I am not the developer or maintainer of 12ft.io or 1ft.io (the service). I don't know who is, there's no information available about the actual owner/maintainer. I am only the author of this very simple Chrome extension that redirects to that service.

- (2023-04-23) Bart: An all black icon on my black toolbar doesn't work for me. Out of sight, out of mind.

- (2022-07-05) Roberto Piagentini: love it. It does what it says!
- (2022-06-15) Jon Schneider: This is excellent. 12ft for an extension to do a redirect is ridiculous. I would appreciate a keyboard shortcut, though.
- (2022-05-21) Hunden: Hi, love it. Works perfectly. I have a request tho, the dark/black nature of the logo in the extension toolbar really makes it hard to see. I always catch myself having to actively search for it. Would be cool if you could maybe consider adding a bright outline to the "12" or something so it´s easier and quicker to spot.
- (2022-04-26) Bruno A.: Consistently, it makes no sense to have to pay to use an extension that bypasses paywalls. Simple, direct, efficient and impeccable.
- (2022-04-26) Lucas Campos: It is awesome, but I tried in the NY times, and it didn't work...
- (2022-02-07) Martin: If the "someone who has a paid add-on for a redirect to 12ft.io for lazy people" is actually 12ft.io and they will go offline if their bandwidth costs aren't met, then it's worth supporting. But you do you.
- (2021-12-17) Everett Eberhardt: good man
- (2021-12-12) Kristian Dimoski: thanks, works like a charm and paying $12 per year for a redirector is overpriced
- (2021-12-06) Buzzy Cnayl: Seemed odd to have to pay for something that removes paywalls so really glad this extension exists as an alternative!
- (2021-12-01) Seth Lawson: KING! thanks
- (2021-11-30) Jared: Thanks! This does just what I wanted.
- (2021-11-28) Mark: Not sure why this does not have any ratings, brilliant work even if it is just redirecting to 12ft, its 2021 i do not want to go through the hassle of doing that myself!!

- (2022-12-14, v:1.1.0) NA: right click menu
please add a right click menu for clicking into a page instead of just support for addon menu bar. - (2022-05-21, v:1.1.0) Hunden: Brightness of the Logo is not optimal. It´s hard to spot actually on the dark background of chrome.

Hi, Can you please enable the extension for NYT as well. I'm a student & I really needed it. Thanks for this amazing extension. I was able to read Economist for free, which couldn't have been possible otherwise.
