Glad to see you back! Was it again adam's complaints getting you blocked?

BB is not as intuitive for me as github, I couldn't find where do you search in all their repositories not only in your own. And their sourcetree thing doesn't want to install by me for some reason.

No, BitBucket has some bugs indeed. But you can also clone the repo in GitHub client. Btw BB's clone-link already contains 'git clone' in the front.
Refactored extension/add-on with lots of new sites, bug-fixes, add custom sites and update-notification.

Liberated from GitHub, now on BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-c...

A better approach at installing your extension (and others) on Chrome without the pesky developer mode popup on Windows:

1. Drag and drop the .crx file on the Chrome Extensions page with Developer Mode enabled. It will automatically deactivate the extension once added.

2. Note the ID(s) of the extension you want to enable. This extension has ID: lkbebcjgcmobigpeffafkodonchffocl

3. Open regedit. Create a new string for each extension you want to enable with sequential names (indices), e.g. 1, 2,... under the key HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallWhitelist (create one if it doesn't exist). Enter the extension ID(s) as string values in them.

4. Restart Chrome. It will mention 'managed by your organization' in the dropdown menu.

5. Once added, I've found that you can easily update this extension in chrome by dragging an updated crx file into the extensions page without having to create new registry values again.

This never worked for me though.
Worked for me.
The Android version requires installing the Yandex Browser. Does anybody know if this browser is safe? Or at least on par with Chrome and Brave?
