In plain words

Bypass is a Chrome extension that helps users read articles blocked by paywalls. Launched in 2016, it allows readers to access paid content without a subscription. The tool is designed for anyone who encounters articles behind payment walls while browsing the web. It works by bypassing common paywall restrictions, making full articles readable in the browser.
