How to bypass Medium Paywall with freedium.cfd

When we are too deep into learning, debugging, or fixing something, and magically you come across a blog post that seems to be a perfect article.

And as you read it suddenly you get slapped with a Medium paywall.

If you regularly use Medium, it makes sense to subscribe to it (and support the author 🙌)

If not, That's where freedium.cfd comes in.

Just append https://freedium.cfd/ in front of the medium.com url and it'll take care of the rest.

Note: It looks like freedium.cfd is down at the moment. In the meantime, you can try using archive.ph

Curious to learn how it works?

Happy peaceful reading!
