Mozilla removes Bypass Paywalls Clean extension from its add-ons repository
> <i>This is how the internet should be, free for everyone, without censorship and restrictions.</i><p>I wonder if the author writes this content for free or if they expect to be paid. Given Ghacks' privacy policy where 12+ categories of personal data tracking are in use, including precise geolocation,  I suspect they do expect compensation for their work, and that it is funded through targeted advertising that requires surveillance tech and data gathering.<p>If the choice is between publishers setting prices for their products or readers being forced to unwillingly participate in the advertising surveillance industry, I'll take the walls.<p>But there probably is no such choice. The money Ghacks makes collecting and selling sensitive personal data is probably so sweet it couldn't be replaced by subscriptions.<p>Just saying, the author should probably think a little deeper about their "free for everyone without restriction" idealogy.
