| 2024-08-20 | David | | Excellent product...well worth the investment for premium! People who are saying that they might as well pay the source site don't seem to understand that they would have to pay countless source sites vs just this one. Yes, we should support journalism, but it's not feasible to have paid accounts with every single site. This allows you to read articles across the internet, and if you find certain sites that you visit often, you can support those with a subscription too if you want. |
| 2024-03-29 | Joel | | I upgraded to the paid plan, and it is awesome. Does it work on every article? No. But it does work most of the time. |
| 2024-01-17 | Jonathan | | Tried to view an article and the extension just wrapped the same walled site in a spaywall banner asking for money. If i was going to pay, i would pay the actual site. |
| 2023-12-27 | Sean | | thank you sir, you are very gorgeous, god bless you |
| 2023-12-19 | Guanghan | | 想看的网站比较偏，好用，使用时记得挂梯，但是部分主流媒体可能防护做太好了，没什么效果 |
| 2023-11-05 | 立涛 | | 可用于部分网站，但仍无法下载相关内容。 |
| 2023-11-01 | Margaret | | While I have only used this extension for a short time, it seems to do what it says it is supposed to do. It presents the text of a potentially blocked website in its entirety and without all the clutter of adds and pop-ups. It does take a short time to work its magic but it does seem to work. |

| 2022-09-19 | Anne | | All this does is redirect you to the Internet Archive wayback machine to see if the article has been archived. Useless. |
| 2022-07-26 | Julio | | it worked for what I used it for ! |
