Paywall: A Useful Tool for Identifying Paywall Sites

Paywall is a free Chrome add-on developed by Mark Crandall. It falls under the category of Browsers, specifically Add-ons & Tools. This handy tool is designed to help users identify paywall sites by displaying the links as "$$$". It also preserves the original text of the link while replacing it with the "$$$" text.

With Paywall, users can easily recognize paywall sites and make informed decisions about whether they want to access the content behind the paywall. This can be particularly useful for users who frequently visit news websites or other platforms that have paywalls.

In addition to identifying paywall sites, Paywall also flags sites that do not work with adblockers. This feature ensures that users are aware of websites that may not function optimally when adblockers are enabled.

It is important to note that Paywall does not in any way circumvent paywall sites or logon restrictions. Instead, it simply serves as a warning that a particular link leads to a paywall site. This allows users to decide whether they want to proceed or look for alternative sources of information.

Overall, Paywall is a useful tool for those who want to easily identify paywall sites and be aware of websites that may not work well with adblockers. Its simple yet effective functionality makes it a valuable addition to any Chrome user's toolkit.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
