Bypass Paywalls Clean (BPC) allows users to bypass paywalls that exist for the sole purpose of granting access to news in return for payment. According to its developer, the browser extension has been removed from GitLab after being hit with a DMCA takedown notice. Many users of BPC are venting their frustrations right now, mostly in respect of the takedown itself. In reality, the things that led up to the takedown notice are more worthy targets.

    the text is already right there.

    Write your fucking websites properly then, Jesus. “oh noes someone is reading the plain text we already sent them, using up some of their limited internet bandwidth”. Go fuck yourselves. If you send my device something, I have a right to read it.

    This pisses me off so badly. It’s my computer, and you sent your shit to it. Maybe don’t do that?
