Description from store
Spaywall News & Research is the original browser extension that helps you LEGALLY avoid paywalls by searching online archives and redirecting you to a paywall-free version. By pointing your browser to a different website, we are not bypassing or interfering with the paywall on the original article source in any way.
Researchers can also use Spaywall to download free versions of Open Access research papers and articles. Click to search our database of millions of legal, free, full-text scholarly articles and we'll redirect you to the PDF instantly. These Open Access articles are research papers that have been posted with the full permission of the authors and publishers involved. Save time avoiding paywalls and logins, great for students and academics!
Please Note:
✓ Spaywall can be used for 100% FREE, though the Free plan has limitations.
✓ Upgrading gives News junkies additional archive sources for even better news coverage.
✓ Upgrading also gives 24/7 All-Hours Access instead of limited to off-peak hours.
✓ Our algorithm strives to find an archived article that is paywall-free. It's pretty good, but it can never work on all articles.
✓ Because we are searching online archives for a paywall-free copy, an archived copy must already exist. That means articles may need to be a few days old for them to have been crawled by the archivers (though we have seen same-day news work many times!)
✓ If you frequent a particular news outlet, please consider directly supporting the journalism you love.

- (2024-03-29) Joel: I upgraded to the paid plan, and it is awesome. Does it work on every article? No. But it does work most of the time.
- (2024-01-17) Jonathan: Tried to view an article and the extension just wrapped the same walled site in a spaywall banner asking for money. If i was going to pay, i would pay the actual site.
- (2023-12-19) Guanghan: 想看的网站比较偏，好用，使用时记得挂梯，但是部分主流媒体可能防护做太好了，没什么效果
- (2023-11-01) Margaret: While I have only used this extension for a short time, it seems to do what it says it is supposed to do. It presents the text of a potentially blocked website in its entirety and without all the clutter of adds and pop-ups. It does take a short time to work its magic but it does seem to work.
- (2022-09-19) Anne: All this does is redirect you to the Internet Archive wayback machine to see if the article has been archived. Useless.
