## What it is
A browser extension that unlocks Medium.com member-only articles by bypassing Medium's GraphQL-based paywall. It serves as a replacement for the discontinued Medium Unlimited extension and supports Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers.

## Use cases
- read medium articles behind paywall
- bypass medium member-only stories
- replacement for medium unlimited extension
- unlock medium graphql paywall in firefox
- read medium content without subscription in chrome
- install medium unlocker on edge

## When to choose
- you regularly read Medium articles that are paywalled
- you want a browser extension rather than a proxy or scraper site
- you use Firefox or a Chromium-based browser and can sideload extensions

## When to avoid
- you need a guaranteed working solution, since Medium actively changes its paywall and the extension may break
- you cannot manually install extensions because it was removed from the Chrome Web Store
- you want a legally sanctioned way to access Medium content, such as a paid subscription
