Description

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.

1ft.io (which is NOT the original site that they proxy) stopped working. Thanks for all the fish and you are welcome for the traffic.

Was really good, started displaying ads now. Why has everyone to be greedy?

An all black icon on my black toolbar doesn't work for me. Out of sight, out of mind.

Doesn't work everywhere. Especially article websites like politiken.dk

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)

The application works, but the icon is black and lacks a background. When placed on the Edge toolbar, the icon becomes invisible against the dark theme.
