Medium Paywall Remover

This is a Chrome extension(well, it works on Chromium based browsers) that removes the annoying member only content paywall on Medium. It works by concatenating 12ft.io proxy link to the original link, intercepting the click event and redirecting to the proxy link. The proxy link is a free service that bypasses the paywall.

Features

• Automatically adds 12ft.io to Medium article links. Just click on what you want to read and everything else is taken care of.
• Redirects you to the 12ft.io URL when you click on a modified link, providing a seamless experience.
