  Description : Firefox browser plugin to bypass various paywalls

Add-on allows you to read articles from (supported) sites that implement a
paywall. You can also add a domain as custom site and try to bypass the
paywall.
.
Note: this plugin may leak information about your web browsing based on the
techniques used to bypass paywalls. For example, for some sites it will load
text from Google's webcache, thereby letting Google know that you read a
certain article. The plugin only operates on sites that you opt-into.


I use this package on both firefox and chromium, and would welcome this
to be co-maintained by Debian Mozilla Extension Maintainers if they're
interested. I've already got a working package, but I'm still trying to
figure out whether we really need separate source packages for the firefox
and chromium plugins.



Re: Control header sent with done email didn't do what I expected, should it have?

The reason why it wasn't implemented for -done and -forwarded is because
the psuedoheader parsing for -done is pretty different, and we aren't
doing any parsing for -forwarded.

There's no technical reason why it couldn't be done for both, but at the
time I implemented it, I didn't fully understand how much utility people
would find from it. [I underestimated the value of being able to mail
multiple bugs at the same time and use "Control: tag -1 foo".]

[Enabling it for nnn@ was really just a case of that happening for free
when I enabled it for submit@.]
