Tell HN: Bypass Paywalls repository is gone
The gitlab one is "clean". But i don't remember the exact details regarding what it means. Just not to use the "dirty" one.

The clean one is not “clean” in that it still does all kinds of tracking

If you look at the source code in any of the mirrors people have linked, you'll find that the "clean" one that was taken down today does not have Google Analytics.

That’s not the issue. It’s that it tracks in other ways.

Okay, for some reason they took down that one but the original (but not maintained) fork is gone. Fascinating...
