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 9 'recommended' add-ons (for now).
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).

Sites with limited number of free articles

The free article limit can normally be bypassed by removing cookies for the site.

For user with the limited permissions BPC-version this will only work for supported sites; for other sites use:

1. Install the add-on Cookie Remover.
2. When coming across a paywall click the cookie icon to remove the cookies then refresh the page.

If removing the cookies works you can also add the site as a custom site.

Remember to check the previous requests before asking for a new website.

2. Open up a new incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+P) and paste the article title into Google.
3. Click on the same article from the Google search results page. Or you can:
4. Disable javascript on the website by clicking the button right icon </> on the uBlock Origin panel.

* by default BPC has limited permissions, but you can opt-in to enable custom sites (and also clear cookies for non-listed sites).
Make sure the (new) site is checked under Options (or check on/off-button).
By default sites' cookies/local storage are removed after page loads (to bypass article limit).
Also you can enable Googlebot user-agent or disable Javascript for (sub)domain(s)/external sources.
PS enabling custom sites (optional permissions) isn't working on Android (Firefox Nightly, Fennec F-Droid or IceRaven).
