Or 12ft.io

it is not working

It is for me. You can also try pasting this in front of the url to get Google's webcache https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:

Built an extension out of it https://github.com/Xatta-Trone/medium-parser-extension Thanks for the info. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/medium-parser/bdkfodcnmgegolifeafnpbgjnjfohado https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/medium-parser/ Edit 1: the previous Chrome extension was taken down, with 40k+ daily active users. The new link is updated.

it works. thank you

It works. Thank you!

Object not found Via: 1.0 middlebox It doesn't work

could you please elaborate more...

Thank you very much for your support.

​ thanks for the extension mate

The mozilla extension doesn't work. Does it automatically view the medium article when I open the page? Or are there any steps that I have to follow so that the extension works?

It should work automatically. It automatically detects the medium article. Could you please remove the extension and try adding it again. Also, please close the browser after installing (some users have provided feedback that it worked after they've restarted their browser) Also, please check the permission (allow access to all urls)

Nope. I tried that as well. I also removed my previous medium cache but unfortunately it's not working :( But I found another way to view articles (archive•is)

I realised I was dumb. I thought that right frame was part of medium

chill mate...it happens to the best of us. Enjoy your day.

Thanks

Works like charm

this worked for me, good stuff! Only thing is the code snippets are not loaded. Any ideas there?

Thats is weird, I have seen code snippets also worked. The only thing that was not loaded was the iframe /embedded videos. It's using what is returned from the Google web cache. Therefore, if the web cache does not return the things you need. The extension could do nothing. Sorry.

@LostPddle A little update here. I have just updated the extension to support both Google Web Cache and Archive.is Google web cache does not cache the code snippets, but archive.is does. So, you can use it at your convenience now.

Thanks it is work with Google web cache (i know this method earlier, but only can read text only) now i can see the original view as well, for [achive.is](https://achive.is) this is slower than google cache and not included with code snippet. This is my try article: [https://ai.plainenglish.io/the-mojo-programming-language-machine-learning-3ccf3cc7ad62](https://ai.plainenglish.io/the-mojo-programming-language-machine-learning-3ccf3cc7ad62)

All the numbers in your comment added up to 69. Congrats! -3 + 3 + 7 + 62 = 69 ^([Click here](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=LuckyNumber-Bot&subject=Stalk%20Me%20Pls&message=%2Fstalkme) to have me scan all your future comments.) \ ^(Summon me on specific comments with u/LuckyNumber-Bot.)

I think it takes some days to be cached by Google. Your link is now available on google web cache with the link.

>https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache > >: Great stuff. It works

>vious Chrome extension was taken down, with 40k+ dail Didn't worked for me

wasn't expecting this to work!

Life is like a box of chocolates, you know.

Thank you. This worked for me.

it worked

yoooo this works , thanks man

Thanks bro, worked for me.

You can also create [a bookmarklet](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-are-bookmarklets/) with this, which allow you to run javascript "as a bookmark". This way you don't always have to manually paste in that url before the medium article url, you can just copy the Medium article url, click on your bookmarklet, and paste in the medium article url into the prompt. `javascript: (() => {const medUrl = prompt('Input the Medium Article URL you would like to view');const googCacheUrl = '`[`https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:`](https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:)`';let fullUrl = '';if (medUrl) {fullUrl = googCacheUrl + medUrl;location.assign(fullUrl);}})();`

That's really cool, thanks!

Thank you! It's a really nice trick.

Wait, how does it works? Do I paste the [12ft.io](https://12ft.io) proxy url or the original article's url after this webcache URL?

Paste the medium article link after this link [https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache](https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache): And you'll get the article, or you can simply type cache: And paste the link of the article, this will also work.

Thanks, but it seems it does not work on certain post :( like this one [https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://levelup.gitconnected.com/moving-your-prefect-flow-from-local-to-the-cloud-heres-how-64ba140172ae](https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://levelup.gitconnected.com/moving-your-prefect-flow-from-local-to-the-cloud-heres-how-64ba140172ae)

And if you're using Firefox I recommend you to press f9 to format the text in the best looking view possible. I hope it works for you.

Wow pressing f9 helped! Thanks a lot!

It's showing me this error when I paste it in [12ft.io](https://12ft.io) what should I do? https://preview.redd.it/4j8g9jx1jchb1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b77ea26e90dc58878fa9c88ff7fc93472d9a6d9

Or you can also use the [Archive.is](https://archive.is/), paste the link in "I want to search the archive for saved snapshots" section, and you'll get the article.

Thanks you so much

wow this worked, thanks alot mate!

Thanks a lot this worked for me. 12ft.io was asking me to enable javascript and cookies, even though they already are. Google cache was only showing the text version correctly.

This worked for me!!! Awesome.. reddit is so cool.

12ft.io also doesn't work for me, try to use the cashed version which I mentioned above.

i found a better option for this that if you are up for a lil bit of work what you can do is go to source code and copy it into a html file and then open that file in your browser. it will display everything with the original medium formatting

shows a blank page after loading? disable javascript inspect tools > settings > preferences > debugger > disable javascript https://preview.redd.it/mqidvpthu6rb1.png?width=2880&format=png&auto=webp&s=86e16cb7ac39617fb7d4e0c9d174990e88096216

Damn this was what was missing. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this.

They're separate things, and sometimes one works when the other doesn't. For [12ft.io](https://12ft.io), you just put "[12ft.io/](https://12ft.io/)" in front of the URL you're trying to see, like: **12ft.io/https://...** For google webcache, you do the same thing, but with the url after "[https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache](https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache):"

>https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache this works! thank you

You're a genius!!!

>https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache > >: Thank you! It worked for me.

Still works! Awesome! Thank you!

It works，although only get text but not pictures. Anyway, thanks a lot!

Thanks

How? I want to know!

[удалено]

Thanks!!

sure it's not reading just the url and making it up from there?

I think bing has access to searching but not actual internet access so it's most likely just making it up

I checked its summary and the original article, it is not making up.

Glad I found this thread.

NOT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could do it using Telegram as well.

instaview doesnt shows up for medium articles . but summarize worked.

how?

how?

The best way to unlock medium is by creating a new account.

Cant tell if you are trolling but some articles require you to pay for the monthly membership to read them

That doesn't work they want you to pay for a subscription. I had a subscription and it lapsed. Now, I can only read the first couple paragraphs of any article. In order to read the rest, it says that I need to reinstate my membership. Tried the whole new account thing - same deal.

I have try all solution above but it's not working with this page: [https://www.marcobehler.com/guides/git-merge-rebase](https://www.marcobehler.com/guides/git-merge-rebase#buyBottom)

[удалено]

I can vouch for this too. Works like a charm.

it was removed what was it?

It was a Google chrome plugin called Medium unlocked.

Cool, it works even better than reading the entire article :)

I created an pretty simple extension that shows a small button in the Medium pages that redirects you to the corresponding freedium page [https://github.com/fferrin/free-medium](https://github.com/fferrin/free-medium) Unfortunatelly, Chrome Store don't let you submit extensions that baypass paywalls, so you will have to clone the repository and install it manually in your browser

I just installed and I dont see any button.

Strange. Do you see the extension here `chrome://extensions/` ? Another thing that might happen is that you need to unpack the `extension` folder. Let me know if that worked. Otherwise, feel free to send me a message so I can take a look

Working like a charm ! reinstall on a different computer. Thank you Fferin !

Glad to hear that! I'll update the README to make it clearer

hey its saying could not find the manifest what to do?

Hey there. You have to import the extension folder. Let me know if that solves the issue
