About this extension
Hit a paywall on an article you actually wanted to read?
NYT Unlocker removes the paywall overlay and the page clutter from nytimes.com, so the article you opened is the article you get to read. One switch in the toolbar turns it on. There is nothing to configure and no account to create.
🚀 What it does
📖 How to use
🔒 Privacy
Everything happens locally in your browser, on nytimes.com pages only. There is no account, so there is no reading history attached to one. Which articles you open is never sent anywhere, and your browsing history is never tracked.
💸 Refer a friend, earn cash
Every install gets a referral code in the popup. When someone who used your code upgrades, you earn 8% of what they paid — in cash, via PayPal.
The Times pays the reporters who write these stories. If you read it often, please support their journalism with a subscription. This add-on is for readers who hit the occasional article, not a replacement for paying writers.
