@Magnolia1234B posted this on Twitter/X about an hour ago: Bypass Paywalls Clean blocked on GitLab: another day another DMCA takedown notice ... I'll consider later if I'm going to upload the code again on some GitHub alternative. For now update your extension/add-on manually (zip with latest extension versions): https://we.tl/t-ZHD2Ioi4aQ I downloaded the file and can confirm it is updated and working.

You still have the files? we transfer link is expired.

Thanks a bunch

The last couple of versions I tried to download gave TROJAN warnings from MS Defender. I had created an issue on the project notifying the developer, and I understood he was changing things to not give a "false positive". Perhaps GitLab didn't think they were false positives?

https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean seems to be available again.

Seems to be gone (again?) when checking just now.

Found a copy here...

Why doesn't this git repo contain any actual source code? Nor do the "src" archives on the download page (both contain a single, empty file).

Yes, I realize I can unzip the xpi and see JS source. But... just curious.
