Paywall Hero gives your browser super powers to bypass paywalls and read any article -- instantly! HOW IT WORKS When you hit a paywall, click the Paywall Hero icon in your Chrome toolbar and choose your super power: HERO CLEAR — Clears your browser cookies for the current site only and reloads the page. Works great on sites that limit you to a set number of free articles per month! HERO WINDOW — Opens the article in a private browser window as a fresh visitor. Bypasses most login-based and cookie-based paywalls instantly! HERO SEARCH — Searches for the same article published on other free, accessible websites with just one click! Works great for syndicated news stories from major outlets! HERO AI SUMMARY — Uses AI to generate a comprehensive summary of any article, even ones that are fully locked behind a hard paywall! FREE TRIAL Every new account includes 20 free uses, including up to 5 Hero AI Summaries — no credit card required! Try all four super powers and see which one works best for the sites you visit most. UPGRADE ANYTIME When your trial ends, upgrade for just $6.99/month for unlimited Hero Clear, Hero Window, Hero Search and up to 100 AI Summaries per month! WORKS ON 1,000+ SITES Paywall Hero works on news sites, sports publications, lifestyle magazines, business journals, local newspaper sites, science publications, and more — covering hundreds of the most popular destinations for online readers. ALSO AVAILABLE FOR ANDROID AND iOS Paywall Hero is also available as a mobile web app for Android and iPhone. Please visit paywall-hero.com with the device you'd like to use to get started on any device. One account works across all platforms. PRIVACY Paywall Hero only accesses the current tab when you click the extension icon. We do not read your browsing history, track your activity, or sell your data. The extension contains no ads, no trackers, and no malware — just four clean tools that do exactly what they say. Full privacy policy at paywall-hero.com/privacy.
