👋 Hey Product Hunt! I built Big 5 Archive because I love following U.S. news but hate the dance of clicking a headline → hitting a paywall → copying the link into Archive. 🚀 What it does A lightweight MV3 Chrome extension that silently intercepts links from the “Big 5” dailies (WSJ, NYT, WaPo, LAT, USA Today) and redirects you to the archived, paywall‑free copy. That’s it: one job, done fast. 🔍 What’s unique No pop‑ups, no ad‑injection, no shady proxies. 🛠 Alternatives Read later tools or reader‑mode clones still load the paywall first; other bypass extensions inject scripts or break layouts. Big 5 Archive just swaps the URL before the page loads. 🏆 Proud of How simple it is: install, forget, and every Big 5 link “just works.” Would love your thoughts on additional papers to support so feel free to ask me anything! ~ David
