7 Free Web Applications That’ll Feel Illegal But Aren’t

These Free Web Applications might feel illegal to use, but they’re not

There are more than 1 billion websites on the internet, many of which are simply amazing and free. But how do you sort through all that garbage to find the good ones?

Check out these free web applications if you’re looking for a way to get around restrictions on websites or annoying paywalls, want to get rid of an image’s background, or need a temporary email address for all the sites that require registration.

You might feel like you should be paying for them or that they are from the Dark Web, but don’t worry—they are entirely free and legitimate.

1. 12ft Ladder

Have you ever come across a link to an article but when you click it you end up on one of those sites where you have to have a paid subscription to access the article?

Prepend 12ft.io/ to the URL of any paywalled page, and we’ll try our best to remove the paywall and get you access to the article.

How does it work?

The idea is pretty simple, news sites want Google to index their content so it shows up in search results. So they don’t show a paywall to the Google crawler. We benefit from this because the Google crawler will cache a copy of the site every time it crawls it.

All we do is show you that cached, un-paywalled version of the page.
