For folks like me who have no idea what 12ft.io or 1ft.io are, they appear to be services for bypassing paywalls on websites.
But I feel a bit unconfident to let someone inject code to sites i view.
I got the feeling that these features should be part of a browser extension the same way as there are AdBlock extensions. I guess the reason it is not is "personal preference" of the author, or is there some technical reason?
there is below extension for this purpose which I know of, I think there can be many more if we search for them chrome and firefox extension for removing paywall: https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome
If you want an alternative that only requests permissions for sites with paywalls, this one is better: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea...
I'm very new to this kind of service, but do you have to write your own rulesets for each site you want to bypass? The repo doesn't seem to include much...
Relevant: 12ft.io was banned by Vercel, taking down the developer's entire account with multiple other hosted projects & domains: https://twitter.com/thmsmlr/status/1718663563353755982 Edit: Access to other projects & domains was apparently restored some time after: https://twitter.com/thmsmlr/status/1719480558932148272
Lovely, the Google classic "ban the world" approach -- I've been desperately trying to move my client off of vercel, this might just be the gasoline.
I think it’s quite reasonable that they blocked the account rather than the project. You wouldn’t have got that level of service from big tech.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
One might consider Cloudflare as a very nice competitor to Vercel in terms of DX, although I suspect all companies use a ban the world approach, even banks.
Not the best time to recommend Cloudflare.
12ft was really good!
One single downside was the intransparency. It was not clear which code was added or removed on the site you where looking at.

Is it actually illegal anywhere to bypass a paywall?
I use txtify.it
