12ft Free Extension

Someone's charging $12 a year to redirect you to 12ft.io That's just silly. I wrote this in 4 minutes (I counted) and then a month later I added a context menu in 5 minutes (I counted that too).

It's free. Enjoy Comrades.

Just click the 12ft Icon when you're on a paywalled page to jump over to 12ft.io and read the content or you can open a link from the right-click menu in 12ft.io in a new tab.

NOTE: It seems that the 12ft.io service is no more. Some cool person replicated the service as 1ft.io and this extension now uses that. Pour one out for 12ft.io. :( The name of this extension will remain the same as a memorial to the OG.

OLD NOTE: I am not the developer or maintainer of 12ft.io or 1ft.io (the service). I don't know who is, there's no information available about the actual owner/maintainer. I am only the author of this very simple Chrome extension that redirects to that service.

Giacomo Lombardo (ID: 0000008e760b00e2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/21/2023 Does exactly what it says. A nice addition is to create a google search engine shortcut with https://12ft.io/proxy?q=%s . Would be a 1 min addition to this extension :p
