Could you build this?
Partial The extension shell is easy to vibe-code, but paywall removal depends on per-publisher bypass techniques that break often and carry legal risk.
What it would actually take: The stack is a cross-browser extension (Manifest V3) that applies per-site rules, such as fetching archived copies or altering content delivery. The hard part is the constant cat-and-mouse maintenance as publishers change their paywalls, plus copyright and terms-of-service exposure. A real product needs ongoing rule maintenance, legal review, and likely a sustainable business model that doesn't rest on circumvention.
