### 1/5 — MEH!

*2025-04-12*

It helps get past with some website paywalls more than others.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. Support for more websites has been added in recent updates - has your problem been addressed? If not, consider checking out Praxis 2.0 TestFlight beta https://newbones.substack.com/p/whats-new-in-praxis-2

### 1/5 — DOES NOT BLOCK PAYWALLS

*2025-02-10*

If you were hoping to block paywalls on websites, look elsewhere. This app does not accomplish that.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. Support for more websites was added in recent updates - have those addressed your issues? If not, consider providing feedback via Praxis 2 TestFlight beta: https://newbones.substack.com/p/whats-new-in-praxis-2

### 5/5 — Y’all so tight

*2025-01-02*

Thank you 🙏

### 3/5 — Average at bypassing paywalls

*2024-08-29, version 1.8.0*

Despite the New York Times being in the app description images, this can only partially beat the paywall. I also tested this against The Australian, which can be beaten by the ‘Bypass Paywalls’ extension for Firefox, and this app could not beat it.

Feels like it’s only good for basic soft paywalls.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2024-07-09, version 1.8.0*

Fantastic app! 

Easy to block scripts and view all content directly from chrome via “Share” button.

Highly recommended

### 5/5 — Great browser

*2024-01-23, version 1.7.1*

A brilliant browser. I use for websites that have persistent tabs popping up. Great app thank you

### 4/5 — Doesn’t work consistently, but it does work a lot.

*2024-01-05*

Having trouble with WSJ and MSN which is frustrating. Overall it works on many sites. 

News media used to provide us with news coverage at the fair and reasonable price of having advertising put in front of our eyes and ears. 

Then the media got greedy. Now we are supposed to pay significant sums of money to dozens and even scores (that’s twenties in case your forgot) of subscriptions AND also get advertising to get the news. 

This happened in the 80’s with software. MS charged $399 for Word and $399 for excel and so on. So businesses mostly paid and people pirated it. Then office finally settled on $99 and most people paid for it. It was a fair price and affordable and most of us would like to be ethical. 

The same is true of online news. Right now they are charging $399 per product. And people want a way to pirate the news. When they come up with fair and reasonable pricing I think most people will go legit. 

But for now apps like Praxus will prevail.

### 5/5 — Nifty little app

*2023-10-01*

It’s my favorite way to read articles online! The design is clean and straightforward. Quiet mode is a nice touch.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-08-29, version 1.5.2*

Just what I've been looking for... easy to use, integrated with safari and other apps and works perfectly. Well done :)
