Is there a custom filter for removing paywalls? I use it and it doesn't do that for me
I recommend this one instead: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bypass-paywalls-clean-d/
It can do a few more tricks that the blocklists on their own can't.
You can use this one and this one.
The extension which is more fully-featured than just a blocklist is now available again: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bypass-paywalls-clean-d/
What's the difference in terms of features?
This is the GitHub page of the extension. It details supported websites and other things
Yeah but I'm asking what the difference is between the extension and adding the extension's filter list to uBlock. The other person said the extension is "more fully featured" but it doesn't appear to do much more than circumvent paywalls. It still seems like an unnecessary extension.
To give one example. It puts a link on paywalled Medium.com pages to view the page's content on another site since a block list will no longer be able to bypass the paywalled content on Medium.com.
Thanks, that's the kind of answer I was hoping for. :)
