A free Internet is a better Internet. This Chrome browser plugin removes paywalled content from Google search results. If you don’t want to pay for the story, the headline shouldn’t be an option. The business model of paywalls—i.e. annoy the user with a bait-and-switch ad a hundred times, when they convert and pay every month until they die—hinders the internet’s ability to be a free and open experience. Hacker Noon believes that if the user doesn’t want to run into a paywall, they should be able to filter paywalled content out of its search results and newsfeeds. This plugin removes known paywalled sites from your Google results. The Free Internet Plugin is open sourced on Hacker Noon’s github. Suggestions to improve the plugin are much appreciated!

In my first Chrome search, WSJ came up, as did NYT cooking, and both are paywalled. WAPO also came up, but I have a sub to that one. I couldn't find any obvious way to add sites to be removed from search, or if it was actually removing something I wanted, to add them back. Gets 2 stars because I reserve 1 star for things that actually break the browser.
Was looking for something exactly like this, no longer haunted by paywalled news sites.
Finally I can search the content I want without paywalls. #FREE-THE-INTERNET!
