12ft Ladder: Bypass Paywalls on News Sites

A browser extension that accesses Google's text cache of articles, allowing users to read paywalled content for free.

What is 12ft Ladder?

12ft Ladder is a browser extension available for Chrome and Firefox that allows users to bypass paywalls on many news and information sites. It works by accessing Google's cached versions of web pages, which are publicly available even for paywalled articles.

When you visit an article that is behind a paywall, 12ft Ladder will check if Google has a text-only cache of that page that you can access. If so, it will load the cached version seamlessly in your browser so you can read the full article content without hitting the paywall.

Some key benefits of using 12ft Ladder include:

• Read paywalled articles from sites like New York Times, Washington Post, and more without paying
• Simple one-click functionality works on many top news sites
• Lets you access information rather than bouncing off paywalls
• Completely legal way to bypass paywalls by using public Google caches

Overall, if you regularly run into frustrating paywalls limiting your access to news and information online, 12ft Ladder makes it very easy to bypass many of them. It enables free access while using public caches so does not infringe on site's copyrights. The browser extension is available for free from the Chrome and Firefox addon stores.
