12ft Free

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

Doesn't work everywhere. Especially article websites like politiken.dk
1ft.io (which is NOT the original site that they proxy) stopped working. Thanks for all the fish and you are welcome for the traffic.

If you want to keep using this extension, you can search on google "How to edit chrome extention" and follow the tutorial from "Superside". It is simple as editing a txt, adding the missing number "2". It is easy.
Redirects to another site: 1ft.io
do not work anymore ..... I don´t why
no longer works, but it's not the fault of the extension, rather its the new website. also fun fact: the original wasn't 12 a year to redirect to 12ft, it was 12 a year to optionally support 12ft (it was made by 12ft's developer) and the extension was a (poor) bonus for those who did; anyone can go to 12ft for free still (but it's a javascript removing proxy now, no more paywall bypass. sad)
its not working for me anymore
The application works, but the icon is black and lacks a background. When placed on the Edge toolbar, the icon becomes invisible against the dark theme.
It works perfectly.
Was really good, started displaying ads now. Why has everyone to be greedy?

An all black icon on my black toolbar doesn't work for me. Out of sight, out of mind.

WOW!!! Awesome!!

Does exactly what it says. A nice addition is to create a google search engine shortcut with https://12ft.io/proxy?q=%s . Would be a 1 min addition to this extension :p

This is excellent. 12ft for an extension to do a redirect is ridiculous. I would appreciate a keyboard shortcut, though.

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.

Consistently, it makes no sense to have to pay to use an extension that bypasses paywalls. Simple, direct, efficient and impeccable.

It is awesome, but I tried in the NY times, and it didn't work...

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.
good man

thanks, works like a charm and paying $12 per year for a redirector is overpriced

Seemed odd to have to pay for something that removes paywalls so really glad this extension exists as an alternative!
