What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox that lets users read member-only articles on medium.com and Medium-based sites (e.g. Towards Data Science). It fetches content via Google web cache or archive.is, strips scripts, and renders only HTML and CSS.

Use cases

  • read medium member-only articles for free
  • open paywalled medium articles in browser
  • read towards data science articles without subscription
  • view medium articles via google cache
  • bypass medium paywall with a browser extension

When to choose

  • you read Medium or Medium-based publications regularly and hit member-only articles
  • you want a lightweight extension that strips scripts and serves only HTML/CSS
  • you use Chrome, Edge, or Firefox and want one-click installation from official stores

When to avoid

  • you need guaranteed access, since Google cache may not have the article
  • you want a fully legal or ToS-compliant way to access paid content
  • you need support for paywalls other than Medium
