Begone Paywall is exactly what the name suggests: a paywall bypasser.
All soft paywalls operate using `localStorage` and cookies. Every time you read an article, the website stores that information in the `localStorage`. For the majority of the time, you could simply use incognito mode to access the article. However, I noticed that some sites started adding in an incognito blocker which is super annoying and requires a user to manually clear `localStorage`. This extension automates that process.
Unfortunately, this paywall bypasser does NOT work on hard paywalls like the ones on the DailyTelegraph (http://dailytelegraph.com.au)
Also, this might log you out of sites like Quora.
Currently working on a way for users to add their own lists to this extension rather than having me hard code all the sites in.

Thank you!
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
