Got the dmca takedown, got freaked out, I don't even remember I had clicked on fork this repo.


Yes, same here. Forgot about the fact I forked the iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome at some point. Reading the notice, it looks like they are going after all forks and derivatives of this addon, including the "clean fork" here: https://github.com/bpc-clone. Also looks like they got rid of the filters list here: https://github.com/bpc-clone/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters

Update: looks like the clean fork is hosted here. https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/ (It's hosted in Russia, so YMMV).


I was just on the Github page a day ago, and now it's gone. Someone reuploaded it here https://github.com/bpc-clone/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean but I can't gurantee the authenticity of it and it isn't working for me.

I repuloaded the zip to a repo on one of my Github accounts https://github.com/nikolqyy/bypass-paywalls-chrome/releases/...
