Link to RemovePaywall from anywhere
No extension needed: send any article to the reader from your address bar, a search keyword, a launcher or your phone's share menu — and build on the published success rates.
Put removepaywall.co/ in front of the link
In any address bar, type removepaywall.co/ before the article's address and press Enter: removepaywall.co/https://www.example.com/news/story. The article opens in the reader straight away. It is the quickest way on a phone, too.
Link to a read from your own page or app
Send readers to https://removepaywall.co/search?url= followed by the article's address, URL-encoded. The page opens and runs the read by itself. Both forms are stable: we will keep them working.
Add a keyword to your browser
Firefox: add a bookmark with the address https://removepaywall.co/search?url=%s and the keyword rp; then type rp and paste a link in the address bar. Chrome and Edge: Settings → Search engine → Manage search engines and site search → Add, with the same address and shortcut. Safari has no custom keywords; use the prefix above.
Raycast and Alfred
In Alfred, add a Custom Web Search with https://removepaywall.co/search?url={query}. In Raycast, create a Quicklink to https://removepaywall.co/search?url= and put Raycast's Argument (or Clipboard) placeholder at the end. Either way, one shortcut opens whatever link you give it.
Android: the share menu
Open removepaywall.co in Chrome, choose Add to Home screen, and RemovePaywall appears in the share menu of every app. Share an article to it and it opens in the reader. The Android guide has the details, and the iPhone guide the options on iOS.
A bookmarklet
Make a bookmark whose address is javascript:location='https://removepaywall.co/search?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href). Tap it on any article to send that page to the reader. It only changes the address; it runs nothing on the page.
For developers and launchers: the rates as data
https://removepaywall.co/sites.json lists every outlet we publish a rate for: its domain, name, the share of recent reads that delivered the article, the number of reads and the window (the last 7 days, or 30 for smaller outlets) — the same figures as the supported-sites list, refreshed through the day. It is free to reuse with a link back (CC-BY 4.0); the methodology explains what counts. It holds no article text, and we do not offer one.
