What is Free Internet Plugin?
The Free Internet Plugin is a Chrome browser extension designed to enhance user browsing by removing paywalled content from Google search results. It operates by filtering out known paywalled sites, ensuring users only see accessible articles and headlines without encountering blocked content. This tool supports the vision of a free and open internet by eliminating the frustration of bait-and-switch tactics often associated with paywalls.
Developed as an open-source project on Hacker Noon's GitHub, the plugin encourages community contributions and suggestions for improvements.
