Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
Someone's charging $12 a year to redirect you to 12ft.io That's just silly. I wrote this in 4 minutes (I counted) and then a month later I added a context menu in 5 minutes (I counted that too).
It's free. Enjoy Comrades.
Just click the 12ft Icon when you're on a paywalled page to jump over to 12ft.io and read the content or you can open a link from the right-click menu in 12ft.io in a new tab.
NOTE: It seems that the 12ft.io service is no more. Some cool person replicated the service as 1ft.io and this extension now uses that. Pour one out for 12ft.io. :( The name of this extension will remain the same as a memorial to the OG.
OLD NOTE: I am not the developer or maintainer of 12ft.io or 1ft.io (the service). I don't know who is, there's no information available about the actual owner/maintainer. I am only the author of this very simple Chrome extension that redirects to that service.

love it. It does what it says!
This is excellent. 12ft for an extension to do a redirect is ridiculous. I would appreciate a keyboard shortcut, though.
Hi, love it. Works perfectly. I have a request tho, the dark/black nature of the logo in the extension toolbar really makes it hard to see. I always catch myself having to actively search for it. Would be cool if you could maybe consider adding a bright outline to the "12" or something so it´s easier and quicker to spot.
Consistently, it makes no sense to have to pay to use an extension that bypasses paywalls. Simple, direct, efficient and impeccable.
It is awesome, but I tried in the NY times, and it didn't work...
good man
thanks, works like a charm and paying $12 per year for a redirector is overpriced
Seemed odd to have to pay for something that removes paywalls so really glad this extension exists as an alternative!
KING! thanks
Thanks! This does just what I wanted.
