Why is it take-down-able?

• kahnpro 9y ago
  Because it allows people to circumvent the paywall and WSJ will complain to Google. And then because Google can take down whatever they want...

    Which is why you don't put your extension as s Chrome extension, but as a tamper monkey script.

      What is the best, in your opinion, site to find tamper/grease monkey scripts? I remember the landscape being fragmented some time ago.

        Yeah. Seems like when the main site went down, the scene never got things back on track with a proper aggregator or central site.

        https://greasyfork.org/ https://greasyfork.org/ - it's been a year or so since I've made use of it but after userscripts.org became unusable this was my replacement. they made some sensible decisions about what's acceptable in a script and whitelisted external libraries: https://greasyfork.org/en/help/code-rules https://greasyfork.org/en/help/code-rules

    Not really. There are lots of extensions that do this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/paywall%20remover?_category=extensions https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/paywall%20remover?... I'm sure many get taken down by request but its usually on a technicality (flimsy trademark claim) or sloppy assessment on Google's part.
