  Description     : Firefox browser plugin to bypass various paywalls

Add-on allows you to read articles from (supported) sites that implement a
paywall. You can also add a domain as custom site and try to bypass the
paywall.
.
Note: this plugin may leak information about your web browsing based on the
techniques used to bypass paywalls. For example, for some sites it will load
text from Google's webcache, thereby letting Google know that you read a
certain article. The plugin only operates on sites that you opt-into.


I use this package on both firefox and chromium, and would welcome this
to be co-maintained by Debian Mozilla Extension Maintainers if they're
interested. I've already got a working package, but I'm still trying to
figure out whether we really need separate source packages for the firefox
and chromium plugins.
