Installation

You can install the add-on from Mozilla add-ons (AMO): Bypass Paywalls Clean
Or download and install the latest xpi-version from GitLab
By default BPC has limited permissions, but you can opt-in to enable custom sites (and also clear cookies/block general paywall-scripts for non-listed sites).

Update

Check for updates (in about:addons) and allow permissions for newly supported sites (else no update will be installed).

Android

On Android this add-on doesn't work with latest Firefox v84 (Fenix); it only supports a number of 'recommended' add-ons (for now).
Only from Firefox v85 you can install recommended add-ons via AMO - so no more need to add these to your custom add-on collection (see below).

BPC add-on works fine in Firefox Nightly, Fennec F-Droid or IceRaven though (when you load BPC from a custom add-on collection).
For Firefox Nightly or Fennec F-Droid (based on latest Firefox for Android) you have to make your own custom add-on collection (or use another that contains BPC).
Iceraven (Fenix fork) uses: What I want on Fenix
It has a custom add-ons account: 16201230 & collection: What-I-want-on-Fenix.
In IceRaven all add-ons are shown (with search option), but In Firefox Nightly and Fennec F-Droid only the first 50 add-ons are shown (including this add-on).

PS enabling custom sites (optional permissions) isn't working on Android (Firefox Nightly, Fennec F-Droid or IceRaven).
