Changelog

v3.0

• Remove proxy services that no longer works
• Added ReadMedium, Freedium, and Archive.today

v2.0

• Added a keyboard shortcut: Alt + R to manually redirect any website to the proxy.
• Added Google Web Cache as the new default proxy. Other proxy services are currently failing to unblock premium articles due to the recent changes made to Medium. However, we can still read the cached version of a premium article through Google Web Cache. But it has some limitations:
  • Recent articles may take a few days before Google caches them.
  • Dynamic iframes inside articles won't be loaded, so we are limited to only texts and images.

v1.0

• Initial release.
