Just started using paywall bypass plugin - BPC. Honestly, love it so far. I found that both their github and gitlab are blocked. I found that tool at gitflic.ru

Never, used this repository or the extension before. Curious, if people from the community use it and how secure they would consider this?

    I am using it. I found it very suspicious it is hosted on a Russian website at first. However because of copyright violations the author couldn’t leave the extension on a server the US/EU can access.
    The extension clearly states which websites it is accessing and you can look through the whole list. I did that a while ago and found nothing suspicious. I trust the author, but you can never know for sure.

      Copyright violations for a browser extension that simply bypasses paywalls? Sound fishy as tools like Ublock Origin can do the same and have been well known for years and faced no takedown requests.
