paidContent:UK: Browser extension for beating the paywall
March 22nd, 2010Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Online Journalism
PaidContent:UK reports on a new browser extension, BreakThePayWall.
Available for Internet Explorer and, soon, Firefox, BreakThePayWall works mainly – and merely – by deleting cookies sites use to limit the number of stories users can read before having to subscribe. Deleting the cookies means the publisher’s site forgets how close the reader is to the “pay up” threshold.
