Overview

Who pays $12 a year for a Chrome extension that just redirects you to another site? Not you!

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.

No longer works, extension needs to be updated with the new URL structure. Simple 12ft.io/www.url.com instead of https://1ft.io/proxy?q=www.url.com

no longer works, but it's not the fault of the extension, rather its the new website. also fun fact: the original wasn't 12 a year to redirect to 12ft, it was 12 a year to optionally support 12ft (it was made by 12ft's developer) and the extension was a (poor) bonus for those who did; anyone can go to 12ft for free still (but it's a javascript removing proxy now, no more paywall bypass. sad)
