Hi OBear, thanks for trying it out and confirming that the extension does work! Bypassing paywalls requires constant daily monitoring, updates, and developer time as websites frequently change their code. The fee helps support this ongoing maintenance so the tool stays reliable. I completely understand if you prefer not to pay for browser extensions, and I appreciate you giving the trial a spin anyway!

Hi there, thanks for trying out the extension! The Wayback Machine is definitely a popular manual workaround. However, NYT Unlocker is designed to provide a seamless reading experience by automatically unlocking articles right on the original page—no need to copy/paste links or wait for archives to load. The trial gives you a quick taste of that speed. We offer a simple one-time purchase so you can permanently enjoy smooth, instant reading. We hope you'll reconsider the time-saving value it brings!
