- Valutata 5 su 5di Vincent, 13 giorni faI am an avid reader and read articles from many media channels, so it is unrealistic for me to subscribe. Spaywall is therefore a genuine lifesaver. Its success rate at going around the paywall is much higher than all the other alternatives, and I am happy to pay such a small price for the access to so many articles that would otherwise be closed to me.

- Valutata 5 su 5di Antihero, 2 mesi faFørste artikel inde, og det er en succes! Hvis du kan, så støt endelig udvidelsen. Det kan lede til opgraderinger, du hidtil ikke kunne tænke dig til.
- og ja, oftere opdateringer af udvidelsen. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 13748433, 5 mesi fagreat extension, really helps route around the paywalled content...

- Valutata 2 su 5di JG, 9 mesi faThis used to be an excellent addon that did what it claimed.
It still does. Mostly. Sometimes.
Since going to the "freemium" model it's gotten more and more restrictive. To the point of time of day blackouts if you aren't a paid subscriber for the addon.
So it'll usually work, but expect ever increasing frustration unless you're willing to pay for a browser addon.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 9 mesi faHi JG, thanks for your review. I get the frustration, especially if you are one of our users who used it for free for five years. We couldn't sustain operations anymore under that model. Totally get the negative feelings, but it's not free to operate. We tried to run only on donations but you can probably guess that nobody in this crowd donates. Please reach out to us at hey@spaywall.com and I'll see what we can do to help you out. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18178498, 9 mesi fa
- Valutata 1 su 5di CapoFantasma97, 10 mesi faIt's a "pay a monthly subscription to access pirated news articles" kind of deal with a poor user experience on top.
Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 9 mesi faNothing we offer is pirated, please try again. We point you to existing archives, but the trick is pointing to the right ones. Have a great day. - Valutata 1 su 5di Duwangtastic, un anno fa"Don't pay for their paywall and get the article legally, pay us for a chance to get the article you're looking for!"
Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il un anno faYeah, kinda. Don't pay them $14.99/mo for a single news outlet, pay us a fraction of that for a fairly good chance of getting the article (80-90% with premium) across ALL the outlets instead. It's a great deal if you read more than just one media source. We've always said if there's just one site you really like, please subscribe to them instead. Sounds like you're just not our target customer. (p.s. our redirection to a link is legal too) - Valutata 1 su 5di StuckInTheTARDIS, un anno fa
- Valutata 1 su 5di Utente Firefox 18229416, un anno faUsed to be a fuctioning Paywall remover, now it's a vehicle for money. With versions prior to 1.0.0 you could get remove paywalls and access a google archive of the site if that didn't work, but the Dev decided this worked too well and preceeded to remove this additional function. On top of all that, he's now forcibly changed the UI of older versions so you can't get access to that function even if you downgrade. Congratulations, this is a 101 on how you ruin a perfectly good extension and lose users in the process. Heavy recommendations to avoid.

pubblicato il un anno faDonation model was broken, users never donate. The site and three extensions take time and money to maintain. After 5 years of this model, the options were to shut down the site, or seek another financially sustainable business model. We have pivoted to a Freemium model, and the basic functionality of the site is still free, with premium features for those who choose to upgrade. - Valutata 3 su 5di Utente Firefox 16021297, un anno faWAS mostly good, now coerces payment. Ideally dont update to v1
Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il un anno faHello, there is still a completely free plan available, though like anything else in this world, there are limitations to the free plan. We have added some new optional features and only those premium features require a paid plan. This Freemium model allows you to try it free before upgrading, or use it for free as long as you like, but still allows us to be financially sustainable. We used to have a donations-based business model but donations never amounted to much and so we either were going to have to shut it down, or try to find a better business model. Hope you understand it costs time and money to maintain a site like this. Please reach out to hey@spaywall.com if there's anything else we can assist with. - Valutata 5 su 5di Laughingthrush, un anno fa
- Valutata 5 su 5di claire, un anno faSo far it hasn't shown me through any articles I wanted to see, I would appreciate sites like the Atlantic, New York Times, and other news sites to be available for this app if possible. Thank you!
Edit: This works now for me too. I either forgot to click on the add on to make it work or this was for a previous update.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il un anno faHi Claire, we've seen many Atlantic or NYT articles work. Can you give me an example article link? Thanks. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18175061, un anno faWorks most of the time, writing this in Dec 2023

- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 17872558, 2 anni faIt works, unlike most of the the others I've tried. It has to be turned on manually for each site you visit, which is... different, but it works.

pubblicato il un anno faI'm sorry, but I can't duplicate this behavior. Please try pinning the extension and see if that fixes it, thanks. - Valutata 1 su 5di Utente Firefox 17832617, 2 anni faI tested loading a well known article from 2020, and it did not remove the paywall.
Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il un anno faAs stated in the description, it doesn't work on every article. About 70% might work, closer to the 90s % with our Premium archives. Would you mind sharing the article so we can dig in more? Please email us at hey@spaywall.com, thanks. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 16076587, 2 anni fa
