Bypass compulsory news websites registrations with Firefox using my extension. I hate reading a headline on news.google.com or somewhere, and when I click it to read the article, I see a splash page of the New York Times or the LA Times, urging me to register my free account that will just take a minute to do. Well, that's a pain in the ass, and no one ever enters their real demographic information anyway, so some genius started up www.bugmenot.com. This is a site that uses user-submitted usernames and passwords for people to use on free web sites that have compulsory registration.

This is an extention that uses bugmenot's database of passwords to bypass those annoying 'you must register to view this news story' pages that a lot of big news sites are using now.

It works, and it's awesome.
