About

Open Read helps you read articles and blogs without signing up or hitting paywalls.
What it does
When you’re on any article or blog, click the extension icon and choose a service. Open Read opens that same page in your chosen reader or archive so you can read it without logging in.
Supported services
Archive.is — View a snapshot of the page
Archive.org (Wayback Machine) — View archived versions
12ft.io — Read paywalled articles
RemovePaywall — Remove paywalls
Google Cache — View the cached version
How to use
Go to the article or blog you want to read.
Click the Open Read icon in the toolbar.
Click the service you want (e.g. 12ft.io or Archive.is).
A new tab opens with the same page in that service.
No account, no settings—just one click to open the current page in an archive or reader.
