RemovePaywall
RemovePaywall is a free online paywall remover for reading articles without paying or logging in. It works by searching internet archives for archived versions of pages, which the site says do not require a login and prevent users from being tracked.
Use centers on entering an article URL into the search bar. The service says it removes paywalls from articles and distinguishes between hard paywalls and soft paywalls. The site also notes that the best way to know whether an article can be opened is to test it.
RemovePaywall says it is constantly working on adding new sites and improving the paywall remover. It reports having tested the website on a little over a hundred different news websites, and it mentions that it works on Bloomberg and hundreds more. The page offers an iOS Shortcut, a Chrome Extension, and a Firefox Add-On, in addition to the search page at removepaywall.com/search?url=<URL.
The site presents the service as free and includes a privacy policy and copyright notice for RemovePaywall™. The tool is therefore an online paywall-removal service with browser and shortcut access, built around archived pages rather than site logins.
