NYT Reader: Unlock the New York Times

Read the New York Times without being blocked by paywalls. One button on, clean, clutter-free reading.

Hit a paywall on an article you actually wanted to read? NYT Unlocker removes the paywall overlay and the page clutter from nytimes.com, so the article you opened is the article you get to read. One switch in the toolbar turns it on. There is nothing to configure and no account to create. 💳 Free tier, stated up front 7 free articles per day, resetting at midnight UTC — that's the real limit, not "unlimited." The popup shows exactly how many you have left today. A single $19 one-time payment removes the daily cap for good — no subscription, no recurring charge. 🚀 What it does Removes the paywall overlay — the "you have reached your article limit" interstitial stops covering the page Read the full article — news, opinion, Cooking, Wirecutter No login required — you are never asked for a New York Times account, or for any account at all Clean reading — the clutter around the story is stripped away One switch — turn it off whenever you want the normal site back 50+ languages 📖 How to use Click Add to Firefox. Open any article on nytimes.com. Read. The overlay steps aside on its own. 🔒 Privacy Everything happens locally in your browser, on nytimes.com pages only. There is no account, so there is no reading history attached to one. Which articles you open is never sent anywhere, and your browsing history is never tracked. 💸 Refer a friend, earn cash Every install gets a referral code in the popup. When someone who used your code upgrades, you earn 8% of what they paid — in cash, via PayPal. The Times pays the reporters who write these stories. If you read it often, please support their journalism with a subscription. This add-on is for readers who hit the occasional article, not a replacement for paying writers.
