How is 12ft Ladder any different than this Github repo that does the same thing? This is one of the more popular repos as well at 22k stars.
Genuinely curious, as I've just been using [1] and have had no issues bypassing paywalls. If 12ft has access to more sites, or something, that would be a better use case.
The owner of the repo does not even want donations, just a star, otherwise, I'd contribute!

- judge2020 5y ago12ft (and outline) request as a new user with a presumably fresh-ish IP address, which is sometimes required when the publication only sends the full article for completely new visitors (ie it can't be removed by clearing cookies and can't be removed by removing some paywall html/js).
- makeworld 5y agoIt's not any different. It actually can access fewer sites, since some sites have disabled it, presumably by paying the owner? The only advantage of 12ft.io is that you have a shareable link for friends, and that it can be used on mobile. Btw, you should switch the better maintained version of the Bypass Paywalls extension: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean
