### Installation
Due to [Google internal policy](https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/program_policies), the extension is not available on the Chrome Web Store.  
The following instructions are needed to install third-party extensions in [Chromium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser))-based desktop browsers.  
In extension developer mode you can always install BPC by `Load unpacked` (latest master, but no automatic updates) or by crx-file (latest release & automatic updates, but possibly you have to add the extension to the allowlist).

#### Load unpacked: Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Brave (all desktop)
* or add extension to allowlist and install automatically updating crx-file (see next section)

1. Download this repository as a [ZIP-file from GitLab](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/-/archive/master/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean-master.zip).
2. Unzip the file and you should have a folder named `bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean-master`.
3. Move the folder to a permanent location on your computer (do not delete the folder after installation).
4. Go to the extensions page (`chrome://extensions`).
5. Enable Developer Mode.
6. Click `Load unpacked` and select the extension folder.

*  By default BPC has limited permissions, but you can opt-in to enable custom sites (and also clear cookies/block general paywall-scripts for non-listed sites). You can also just request permissions for the custom sites you added yourself (or `clear cookies` (BPC-icon) to ask for permission for current site).
* For custom sites you can also copy manifest.json from custom folder to the main extension folder (in Chrome optional permissions can get lost on reload unless you do a crx-installation first; no allowlist is needed).
* In Chrome/Opera/Brave to disable the developer mode extensions popup use the extensions toolbar menu (by default enabled in Chrome 87+ or (if available) enable (experimental) chrome flag: chrome://flags/#extensions-toolbar-menu)

If you're familiar with Git(Hub)-clients you can also clone this repo and update the extension that way (load unpacked folder used by Git(Hub)-client).

#### CRX-file: other Chromium browsers (Opera/Vivaldi/Yandex)
* or add extension to allowlist for Chrome, MS Edge or Brave (see [instructions](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/-/tree/master/allowlist/README.md))

1. Download the extension as a crx-file from the [releases page](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/-/releases).
2. In your browser go to the extensions page.
3. Enable Developer Mode.
4. Drag your crx-file anywhere on the page to import it (when you have an active 'load unpacked' installation, first remove it (and backup your custom sites); for automatic update).

#### Android
1. Install [Kiwi Browser](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwibrowser.browser&hl=nl) or [Yandex Browser](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yandex.browser&hl=en) from the Google PlayStore.
2. For Kiwi Browser you have two options:
* load the CRX-file in releases (auto-updating, no allowlist needed, opt-in for custom sites not working (use kiwi-custom crx; updates to latest regular version)
* install latest master zip-file (no automatic updates, for custom sites use manifest.json from custom folder, clearing Kiwi-cache will also remove extension though).
3. For Yandex Browser follow Chrome instructions above (load unpacked; step 6: pick  manifest.json instead of the folder). If it fails try a few times or use Total Commander (as file manager). You can use a Git client like MGit to clone (and update) this repository on your mobile device.\
For custom sites copy manifest.json from custom folder to the main extension folder (optional permissions are lost on reload).

#### Firefox
Visit the [Firefox repository](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean) of Bypass Paywall Clean.

#### iOS/iPadOS
Use adblocker with custom (content)filter: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters

#### Notes
* This extension works best alongside the adblocker [uBlock Origin](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en).
* On Yandex Android use [uBlock Origin development build](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin-dev-build/cgbcahbpdhpcegmbfconppldiemgcoii).
* Do not delete extension's folder from your computer/smartphone or Bypass Paywalls Clean (in developer mode) will disappear at restart.
* In Chrome/Opera/Brave to disable the developer mode extensions popup use the extensions toolbar menu (by default enabled in Chrome 87+ or (if available) enable (experimental) chrome flag: chrome://flags/#extensions-toolbar-menu)
* You will be logged out for most of the sites you have checked.
* Some sites need to redirect to an amp-page (add an exception in your `Redirect AMP to HTML` extension or disable Brave > Shields > Auto-redirect AMP pages).

### Update
For crx-installation: check for updates (in chrome://extensions).\
For zip-installation (load unpacked/developer mode): unzip files to installation folder or use a Git(Hub)-client to clone the extension (locally).\
You can also check for update of site rules at startup (opt-in).\
For new sites you also have to opt-in to custom sites/request permissions for new domains (or wait for new release).

_* free/cached articles only._

### Sites with limited number of free articles
The free article limit can normally be bypassed by removing cookies for the site.  
Click on the BPC-icon and then 'clear cookies'-button in the popup (for unsupported sites grant permission for domain).  
If removing the cookies works you can also add the site as a custom site.

### New site requests
You can [submit a request for a new website](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/-/issues).  
Please read the following instructions and share your results for a quicker process.  
Remember to check the [previous requests](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/-/issues?scope=all&state=all) before asking for a new website.  
1. Open incognito window and search for article in Google search (or webcache).
2. Clear cookies for the site (by this extension: opt-in to custom sites or grant permission for the site; also enables blocking of general paywall scripts).
3. Disable Javascript on the site (by browser, uBlock Origin or other extension).
4. Add the domain as custom site for more bypass options.
5. Open page in reader view (by browser or extension).

### Add custom site
Add your own custom site (also for testing).  
Check 'Options'-link in popup-menu and go to custom sites.  
\*  by default BPC has limited permissions, but you can opt-in to enable custom sites (and also clear cookies/block general paywall-scripts for non-listed sites). You can also just request permissions for the custom sites you added yourself (or `clear cookies` to ask for permission for current site).

By default sites' cookies/local storage are removed after page loads (to bypass article limit).  
Also you can enable Googlebot/Bingbot user-agent, set referer (to Facebook, Google or Twitter; ignored when Googlebot is set), set random ip-address, disable Javascript for (sub)domain(s) and/or external domains, block regular expression, unhide text on (or when paywall(selector) redirect to) amp-page and/or load text from json (paywall|article selector).

[Example list of custom sites](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/-/blob/master/custom/sites_custom.json) or [download list (json)](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/-/raw/master/custom/sites_custom.json)

### Add excluded site
Add excluded sites/domains (for your subscriptions).\
You can also exclude a specific domain which is grouped in options.

### Troubleshooting
* This extension works best alongside [uBlock Origin](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm).
* Add usefull custom filter [Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List](https://www.fanboy.co.nz/enhancedstats.txt)
* If a site doesn't work, try turning off uBlock and refreshing.
* Make sure the (new) site is checked under Options.
* You will be logged out for most of the sites you have checked.
* Make sure you're running the latest version of Bypass Paywalls Clean.
* If none of these work, you can [submit an issue](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/-/issues).
* If you live in the EU, also consider installing the extension [I don't care about cookies](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/i-dont-care-about-cookies/fihnjjcciajhdojfnbdddfaoknhalnja) in order to remove cookie warnings (or add filter [Easylist Cookies](https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist-cookie.txt) | [I don't care about cookies custom filter](https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/abp) to uBlock Origin). Some sites need to set a consent-cookie for (social) media.
