Extension Metadata

About this extension
Surmount is a Firefox Add-on to bypass paywalls by redirecting an article to a webpage capture from archive.today (which uses archive.ph).
  • Be prepared to complete a Google reCAPTCHA
  • If no archive exists be prepared to wait while one is created (this can take a minute)
  • Currently only The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Intercept, The Miami Herald, Financial Times, The Atlantic, Bloomberg, and The Athletic are supported.
This Add-on was created for personal use, but published to comply with Mozilla’s guidelines. Original code was written by Austin Moore. This Add-on has no affiliation with archive.today
